I think its too wide to just slip into place, since it fits up inside the c-channel frame rails. I was thinking of unbolting the bumper, core support, and springs, and jacking the rails apart enough to get it in. Opinions? Easier alternatives?

Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

I have the BFH in reserve, in case there's no more elegant way.
highflyer,
AD frames are tapered.
TF frames are straight, to make room for the v8s.
