Tried installing an M2 harness bar this afternoon, and seems to be about 1/8" too short. Any secrets to installation like raise the rear end to release tension? Any help appreciated.

Thanks

 

Put the two bolts through the bar and end plates first (but loose), then tilt the end plates up a bit, get them over the shock mounting bolts and slowly work each side down a bit at a time. Eventually, you'll be able to get all three on each side. torque to spec, then finish by tightening the end plate/bar bolts.

 

Tried that, doesn't work for me.

 

You should just drive over and get Brian to put it on.

 

Exactly my thinking. I already put the stock one back on, and will call him on Monday to see when I can go over.
