    I did it through work so I did all the labor and had the painter spray them so my boss just charged me for his time and material. I really used original bumper it's a pain in the ass I filled license plate holes then sanded it primered it and painted it is also had them add flex additive to the clear. I hated the black bumpers.

    Rear axle looks way forward.... Do you use offset blocks? Would help to pull the axle rearward

    Need to build the lower half of my pacesetter header since the eBay seller I got it from didn't send it to me. Just waiting for a flex pipe to finish the connection to the 2.5" piping already on the truck. Gonna drive the truck around na for a few months to see if there are any other gremlins I need to take care of before the turbo goes back on.
