A question about stall bars

Okay, so the stall bars I ordered just came in, right? And they look great, despite not being put together yet. But stupid me, I measured the width to make sure I had room, but I didn't measure the ceiling and it's like two inches too low. Big bummer. I should have measured that.

But anyway, I was thinking I could just take a couple inches off the bottom before I put it together but I wanted to make sure that would be okay to do. Like if I take off a few inches, put it all together, mount it to the wall, and then try to use it, am I gonna fall flat on my butt or what? I just wanted to make sure it would still hold together okay if I did that. It looks like it won't matter, but I didn't want to mess them up.

Thanks for any and all help! And next time I'm def gonna remember to do all my measuring.

It won't matter at all.

I just bought a used one from an old millitary place that shut down and also had to cut off the bottom and it still works great

Nice! Congrats on the new equipment guys! Stall bars are fantastic. I think that stall bars + a power rack + rings + some bands is a perfect home gym.

Thanks guys!
