    Let me know if you need a replacement bumper. I have my stock rear bumper is very good condition if you need it. You would just need mounting brackets for it.

    Considering the entire steering rack moved over an inch to the left and right when turning the steering wheel, Oh yeah! Every time I hit a bump, the steering wheel would jerk left or right depending on how I hit the bump. Now the steering is much more solid and no play...

    If I remember correctly, the bushings only cost me $20 (shipping inclusive) from Energy Suspension Parts.com

    Here are the pics.

    The car...pretty sure the whole front end is toast. the headlight lens was sitting on my bumper (below the license plate) and the scuff on my bumper was probably from the center of her grill surround (the hood latch would have been there and it sticks out the furthest). The whitepaint on the side isn't from my truck - must have been something else she hit :rolleyes:
    [​IMG]

    And Toy...you can see the scuffs on the bumper and on the bottom edge
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    and the bumper mounting brackets - you can see in the second pic (passenger side) that the gap (arrow) is about a 1/4" less than the drivers side
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    And the box/cab are equally spaced

    I'd put some kind of stop/protection on the cab side of that whip.

    I used to have a similar spring on the bumper of my old Bronco and if it snagged on a tree branch, it would come flying back into the body/topper of the truck. After 8 years of wheeling, it left a mark.

    Just my $0.02
