Swapped out my factory 33s for 35s. Pulled the crash bars to replace with the higher clearance lower profile version from Readylift. Front bars slot in just fine, just like the factory ones.
Rear bars, different story. They appear to be slightly too large. Pounding on them with a mallet I can get them in maybe 2-3mm, but no way they are going to make it all the way in. And I don't even want to think about trying to align the bolt holes with them this tight.
Anyone else run into this issue?
If so, how did you resolve it (other than just leaving them out)?
Seems odd the front bars would be designed to slot in so easily while the rears do not.
