Got my 3/4" steel rod today, and marked it with approx. dim., and it sure looks like it might hit the bumper!! No way to know if my bumper is in correct position, and I can tell brackets are slightly bent. May have to fudge 3/4" or so for the first bend, making throw or handle slightly shorter, but shouldn't be a problem. Never bent anything this thick before, so it's a learning experience. Seems to be a lot of interest, so I'll keep everyone posted.
