Dc front strut bar not fitting >:(

Idk if I'm doing it wrong, but this **** is not fitting. I need like a 1/4" more over to make it fit, and it just won't go. Any advice?

take a chisel or big screwdriver and open up the opening just a little bit. you're talking about the slotted side correct?

ram a truck into the side of it. problem solved. JK i think if you have a comealong chain you could ratchet it till it sits on the bolts and tighten it.

Ended up giving it a little bend, and with an assistant we banged it in. Victory!
