ok this may have done before but cant find anything as the search thingo never works for me i cant get my bullbar off i want to take it off so i can be moded to suit 2 inch body lift but it will not come out its on an mg its one of the ones that slide into chassis ive wd40 it to death and belted it even tried a bottle jack oh by the way ive undone the bolts
any other ideas would help plus has anyone done a lift on these bars and what was the best way cause the nuts are welded onto the bar were it slides in so the bolts dont go all the way through any help would be good any pics also great cheers

Can you access the nut easily?
You could try cutting it off with angle grinder - just means you will need to replace the bolt as well.

thought about this but was wondering if it would do more damage than good if it slipped from centre or something like an damaged chassis end or something i might be being to over cautious with it

It'd be easy as drawing on a piece of paper...
Mounting holes... where they are positioned... they need to be 2 inches lower... so a plate in between is the logical answer.
In my case.. i'd make a whole new bracket duplicating the existing one but with the mounting holes in their new positions.

this would be ok if it was mounted like that this bar slides into the chassis rails with thw nuts welded to it and bolt though the chassis so its not that easy or i might be missing somthing

Post a pic and we might be able to give you a few ideas. May be as simple as cutting above the mounts and packing with RHS or plate...

havent got a digi but i think iam going to take it to an engineer shop etc because i want it lifted but also done properly so it doesnt drop off basicalywhat i was hoping is that some one had allready done it because its the same bar that you see on nearly every mq
