    I've been looking at rear plate bumpers lately. I really like the idea of the high clearance models. Is there a solid write up on how to cleanly cut away the sheet metal from the bed to make room for the bumper? Cutting into my truck without any base of knowledge is terrifying to me.

    Much appreciated.

    My suggestion for a HC rear is pelfreybilt. Can't go wrong with them.

    That's where I'm leaning. You can see the thought that went into the design.
