    @dirty deeds if you want, just coat your bumper in truck bed liner. It's what I used on my sliders and skid. Touched up the 2 nicks in my bumper with it and it almost perfectly matched the powder coat perfectly. I don't know that any one will even be able to tell what I touched up unless I show them.

    I'm you tube self certified at all sorts of shit. Directions that came with the bumper we're pretty straight forward. Had to use the sledge to widen the brackets a bit for easier fitment. Broke both tabs on the tag lights when I reinstalled them. The tabs aren't made to go over 3/16 Steel lol. And the two bolts that mount to the hitch that the bumper basically sits on could be better placed. They we're a muther fucker to tighten down. I don't have any swivel open end wrenches. Just closed ratchets. That would have made a world of difference. Still might try and grab one in a 19 cause they aren't as tight ad they should be.

    That's what I plan to do. I don't want flat or matte since my wheels are kinda gloss, just wouldn't look right.
    Be nice to find white bed liner. It isn't made cheap though.
    That looks great!

    Could swear your truck is blue, not black. I'm losing it.
    Noted. Beat the tabs til it fits!

    For some reason, I thought the bumper had cutouts for pods. Nothing that can't be fixed since I'll need to coat mine anyway.

    Also, @presta24, did the factory plate lights go into the bumper easily? Or are they aftermarket?

    I'm hoping that mine will settle out to near level with the lift and rear bumper.

    I'm trying to justify making myself broke again to come get the bumper from you lol. Just can't happen til next pay check. One more week.

    I run them, little stiff but great springs. Shackle flip softened them up a little, flexing often with shackle flip is ruining them lol
