Yes SILVERKNIGHT7 I went with the axel back.
Thanks guys for the info. I couldn't get the hangers to bend so I just added some washers between the car frame and the hanger bracket to get me a minimum of a 1/4 between the bumper and the exhaust tips. I should let it melt the bumper then I could say "honey I melted my bumper and since I need to replace it I might as well get the Abflug bumper that I wanted in the first place"
