I mocked up the forward position for the bar and it actually looks pretty decent. When I ran into this problem on the silver truck, the fix was much easier. I only needed to move the ends inward about 3/4". These would need to move a full 2" inward to allow the frame brackets to use the holes already in the frame.

Were there any side effects from moving the bar forward, Scott?
