I'm to the point of lowering the back end of the 57. I'm replacing the stocker with a 10 bolt. It has 3" tubes so I bought 3 1/4" u-bolts at Tractor Supply thinking I needed the room for clearance. Turns out the fit is pretty sloppy. Since the u-bolts will be drawn up tight, will this not be an issue
or do I need to exchange them for the 3"ers that I should have bought from the outset? If so, Would it hurt to heat and bend the 3 1/4"ers? Opinions?
