I had kert build the Abomb raised up for my 3" body lift. However where the winch mounts are my M12000 wont fit without cutting out the lower grill support and part of the grill. I'm going to have to cut the winch line hole lower and the holes lower by about 2+ inches for the winch to fit. In hindsite I shouldn't have had him raise the AbomB up, but I do like the looks of it and it will look nicer when I make a full bumper out of it. As for the lower bolts I'm going to have to drill the holes in the frame out a little bit to make them go in, I just got lazy and havn't put them in yet. Been doing other stuff trying to get it ready for roll cage work.
Anyone know where I can get some monster shackles for the holes in that thing? I only ever see the 3/4" ones. what size is supposed to fit in those holes?

I believe they use a 1" shackle. I had one from a receiverhitch/shackle, but Im going to have to pick up some more for front and rear. There's a local place by me that sells heavy equipment stuff; straps, shackles, bolts, etc.

What did the bender send ya back? Been looking around myself
little over $750 for the whole setup. Shippin was free. Bought 3 sticks of 1.75 DOM and gotta pick them up tomorrow. Local price is 4.67/ft right now.
www.strapman.com He was at a local swap meet yesterday and I picked up 4 7/8" clevis' I think they were $13 ea. Their website kinda sux so you're better off calling them.

yeah I have a friend who bought that for his 105hd and im waitin to see how its working for him before I buy it. The bender isn't too bad to pull but it does take a while. The ram would fix the hard to pull problem but I'm curious as to how fast it works. The other good thing about hydro is you can get your bends accurately a little easier cause you arn't yanking and going back to check your angle 100 times. The degree ring is useless to me and I like using two rulers bolted together at one end to check the angle of the tube. The time it takes to bend tube is nothing compaired to figuring your bends and notching (at least for me) so I dont mind taking it slow with the actual bending. Its like painting... Hrs and hrs of body work and 10 min to spray paint.
