hey mate,
I got my arb winch bar lifted for 2 inch body lift at superior for $275!!!
Great job would highly recomend taking it to someone who is a competent welder and an idea of how to brace it up.
Cheers Rees

The fitter at works got the gear i just want to know what sort of bracing & what not so i dont lose any strength.so i can still use the recovery hooks on the bar.(to recover the father in laws 80 series
)Anybody know whats needed to be done.

If you would like a honest price bring it im to TJM Coopers plains, I think we did the last one for around $100, Ask for Darren.

Mine's been done , no bracing required. I'll take a pic tommorrow maybe. ARB bar 100mm RHS cut through. 10mm plate welded to RHS on each side offset by 2". There's still plenty of overlap with the RHS on each side of the 10mm plate. There's no way it will bend or break or anything. No need for additional bracing.

It its an ARB. Remove the bar from the mounting bracket. Drill new holes at correct height through the mounting bracket. Replace bar. Perfect job. Around an hours work. DIY = Free.
The bar remains as strong as original
