    :censored: :bowdown: I'll try to catch up on some reading and put my REALLY bad political jokes aside.

    Now that you're here though, which frame reinforcements did you end up going with? See how this all unfolds.

    Any reason for that? Just curious if there is something that I'm overlooking.

    Mainly because paying 1 company for a product and a second company to install it is generally more expensive then having 1 shop do it all. More profit margin for them equals lower end cost for me. Aside from that, pre cut plates are meant to fit a perfect frame. We dont know yet how mine will turn out and although they are confident they can easily straighten it back to spec, any imperfections will cause fitment issues with precut plates so its easier to just make them to fit my specific vehicle situation rather then trying to modify and existing product to fit. Seems easier for everyone to have a one stop shop

    Just dropped her off at the frame shop. 48 hours to go until shes straightened back out, plated frame, and guage the axle to determine any further damage. Looks like the frame tweaked up front too from the weight of the demello plate bumper.

    :fingerscrossed:
