The tops of each wheel tub needed some "persuasion" via the tip of a ball-peen hammer. I know I took some pics of it, but will have to dig them up. There is only the lower bar that contacts the top of the wheel tubs (even the OEM wheel tub flange is hammered over). It was easy, just fold the frame down and trace an outline of where the frame contacts the top of the wheel tub. Push frame out of the way, then hammer the marked area down. You can do a little at a time. Probably not even a 1/4" deep in the worst areas. once you get the lower frame to go down without touching anything, you will know it is done.
