    My Max IV is bowed down at the rails. Is there a proper wat to staighten this out or do I have to live with it? If y'all have any ideas, I would like to fix it.

    Thanks,
    Drew

      Well I fixed the sag. I clamped 2" angle iron to each side because I am going to finally finish the "bumper" I started 10 years ago. After 1 day clamped to the body, It is almost straight. I will also be fabricating a cross brace to attach seat belts which I will also use to support the body to prevent this from happening again. I will also be reinstalling the winch mount and attaching a 3000lb winch. I was wondering if I should enlarge the holes in the body or the winch mount to fit it back on with the body band. I am also undecided about whether I need to wrap the band around the back or just end it at the back on the sides.
