Thanks Mark,

I think I removed the 10mm nut you spoke of, but I didn't try tipping the shock up. The left front frame piece is bent a bit, but I don't think it's binding on the shock. How long are those things? I'll try tipping tomorrow.

Another thing... a mechanic friend of mine is suggesting that I heat up the frame piece where it bent, insert a long bar and try to bend it back. It's a pretty slight bend, maybe 1/2" or so from the norm, but it probably will affect where the bumper lines up to the rest of the trim. Has anyone done this? I'm not thrilled about firing up an acetelene torch in the engine compartment.

-Michael
