    Look mane!! I still might beat you to the punch but i hope you don't have problems with spacing your front end.. Mines being a pain!!! It all relates back to off-roading too hard and a wreck on my driver side about 3 years ago...

    Just so you know... The large 'L' looking '7' looking bracket goes on the bumper last... and use the large bolt for that! Don't put it on until after you get you spacing and gap right..

    The lower part of your frame... Has these little removable (i called them) wings.. pull them out and use the short 5/8th's inch bolt with washer for that... Start with 3 - 4 washers between the bumper and frame first for your spacing.. This order for bolt..
    bolt- 1x washer - bumper - 4x washer - frame - 1x washer - nut... That way you protect from pulling the bolt through and damaging your bumper.. Just snug those up first then snug up the other 6 check it.. if its where you like it then tighten the 2 middle ones remove the outside 4 add the large bracket then tighten those 4 down and use the large bolts provided on the other part of the frame then the bottom 2.. You'll be good to go!

    Yeah, mine arnt looking like they will be on until late Monday or late Tuesday, and I'm hoping I have zero issues with spacing. My ocd would drive me crazy if I can't get it perfect!

    Thanks for the tips! I will be going back over your directions when I'm installing, haha. Rather get it right or close to on the first try then spend all day adjusting it.

    Yeah those are the best notes i've come up with.. They may not be the best but they are the ones i have.. BTW.. Eric said you'll want about a 5/8" gap from the fenders... I'm going to try and do some tweaking on mine tomorrow and see if i can't get it right..

    Couple cell pics of a ifs skid I made today :cool:

    Might make another at some point, made this one hang a little lower then most so it cleared my diff drop with no issues, and learned a few things I might change. Overall for being the first one iv ever made im happy with it.
