IDK what to tell you dude, she wasnt going in as it was lol. I fought with it for a looooong time. And i had plenty of room so I tried all the angles.

For what its worth I did consider that a little bit and used some undersized all thread instead of the max 1/2" diameter I could have used. So I figured the all thread was going to bend some before I could really put a ton of pressure on it. Which is some super bro math, but the inside cross section of the frame mount was for sure smaller then the cross section of the new installed bushings.

So Im not arguing that it should be your first choice. Im sure its not, but in my case it was what I could do.

But this all goes to my point to just let someone else have this one. If they hurt you frame you can fight them over it.
