Question:
I bought one of your front end hitches for a 2009 jeep wrangler. The hitch measures 26 1/4 inches wide, my frame measures 26 3/4 do I need to ues spacers to fill that 1/2 or is it the wrong one?

Sometimes hitches get bent in shipping so what you can do is use some leverage to bend the hitch back out to the correct dimension needed. As long as when you bend it back no paint flakes or metal creases you are totally fine.
