need something that can withstand pulling a pair of frame rails on a 240sx back into place

they only need to go about 3/8 of an inch

if the rails were kinked @ the front crossmember, i would agree, but that is not the case here

the pull HAS to be perpendicular to the front end of the front framerail, anything else will crush my framerails b4 i have a chance to repair some previous rust damage

come-alongs are easier to find they a high quality 2way portapower w/ all the attachments i would need

i know the options i have w/ a cheap portapower, and none of them will work for me
