    I was going to install with it on but realized removing the 8 bolts and lowering it a bit made it way easier to mock it up and tap the holes. The wires to my winch were long enough to just leave them connected and lower the bumper on to a work stand.

    Makes sense. Thanks for the advice. It’s a great product but I’m worried about my OCD. Do you know if the BAMF bumper brackets will work to reinforce your bumper?

    I honestly have no idea. What exactly are you trying to reinforce?

    They fit with some pretty heavy modifications to either the bumper or the bracket. I still haven't figured out a way to get the rear bolt in that runs parallel with the length of the vehicle.

    No other reinforcement is necessary or recommended. Installing additional brackets beyond what we've designed will not serve any other purpose other than to remove your crumple zone. We do not suggest this.

    Just got an email stating me order will be shipping. It hasn’t been too bad of a wait and communication has been very good.

    Can’t wait until I get it installed!

    Thank you, I have been trying to get things in order around here but it is a growing business. Much like a firetruck, I can't just turn things around here overnight but everyday I have tried to make things easier and better for the customer as well as on our side. I have posted my direct email and phone number in the thread to try to alleviate any concerns/questions that may linger on a customers mind. I look forward to seeing them installed!

    If you want a status update on your order feel free to message me and I can personally help you with that.

    Welp this May have just made my decisión for me! The only thing holding me back is I don’t feel confident installing it myself (drilling into my slimline and having it fit up nice) maybe I’ll just hire someone/take it to a shop.

    How's the bumper set up with the Bilstein 8112s? Are you using the 600LB coils? Thanks in advance.

    No I am using 700# coils. Ride is great. Truck dropped 3/4” with bumper and winch. With all steel skids ,sliders , winch and bumper I am currently at 23” from center of hub to fender with plenty more turns if I wanted more lift.

    I tried using the code and it always defaults to the free shipping. Is that right?

    Will this work with the TRD Skid Plate?
