Tim, looks like a fun project !
Always a good idea to incorporate the use of a tractor into a project
I tend to use my forklift quite a bit.

Do you have a flat bed trailer? Seems like placing the frame on a trailer with a combination of chains/binders/come-alongs could be used to accomplish this. I've never personally done that but it might be worth considering.

2x that's how I straightened my frame.

I put jack stands under all four corners of the trailer and chained the frame to the trailer.


The tractor was there just to make sure the truck didn't fall if a chain snapped.



Redneck frame rack.

Thanks guys, Just measuring it to the floor from the frame horns am still 1/16" out on the twist. I have the diamond dead on.

It's close enough to put the tub on it and built it from there.
