I'm trying to install my new roll bar, but can't seem to get it to fit in right. The instructions aren't much help since they don't show an installation position... If anyone else has installed one of these, where should it go?

The front foot plates have some adjust-ability (fore and aft) by bending the flange on the foot.

You want to make sure that the main hoop is located correctly front to back based on the location of the hole into the bed rail.

I had to move mine rearward about 1/4 inch to get the side holes lined up and make the bar vertical. I just used a big hammer to bend the foot. Be careful not to go too far, because it's much harder to bend it back.

In my case, after I bent it...it actually fit the wheel tub much better.

My rear bar needed only a 5/16 thick plate as a spacer under the back foot.
