    So as the title says, I want to cut out some 2"x2" square holes on the outside of the shackle mounts on the all pro rear plate bumper and I was just wondering if anyone has done this yet. I've searched all over this forum and posted in the general section. If anyone has pics please post them. Any help or opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.

    That came out nice, if you have some more details on how you made the cuts that would be great. Thank you

    Actually all I did was lay out where I wanted them to be, marked my pattern, I think it was like 1 7/8" x 1 7/8", then took the bumper to the shop that installed my lift and had them plasma cut it for me. I could've went with a flush mount kit but a good friend of mine talked me into recessing them. I'm glad I did, it came out super clean and I haven't seen anyone else do this.
