Shadowriders.net Introduce yourself first on there, someone will probably give you one. There are two sets of aftermarket forward controls on there now, a four inch set and a six inch set ( meaning 4-6 inches extended from stock)
Sorry I was taught as a truck driver don't swerve or brake for animals in the road. So the dog be damned for being there. I would have run it over and kept going as it should have never been there and I sure as hell am not swerving with the chance of losing control or wrecking my vehicle.
Sean get a good metal chisel and carefully cut out the race. This technique is used all the time for pilot bearings (bushings). You will not hurt the material around the race.
