One of them is bent, and I've seen similar on every Task Force truck I've looked at. I'm assuming the bend is to provide greater clearance for the air cleaner, eh?
Unfortunately, I can't remember which brace goes where, and if the bend should be toward the front or rear. The Factory Assembly Manual doesn't show any bend in either brace.
Anybody help me out here?
