Both front dog bones were out about 2" to the right. We had the frame anchored down solid to the floor. A channel iron bracket anchored to the floor with a chain and binder holding back where the bend was. Another I-beam bracket mounted with a 2 ton chainfall pulling from the side. Tacked a piece of angle between the dog bones to maintain spread. Pulled from a couple different spots in the frame, it took a lot of force, I was waiting for something to explode. But we kept gaining little by little. I'm really happy with how it came out. It is dead nuts where it belongs, you wouldnt know it was ever bent. I didn't expect that outcome.
