before spreading the frame, I would want to be sure it has / hasn't moved. It should be pretty much dead nuts at 34" top and bottom. I know there is a brace in there but even so, I'd measure it. If it's true to width at 34" top and bottom, well, see what the guys at IC say but I'd start grinding the cross member.
