    Thanks doug. I did pretty much the same thing but must not have had heavy enough metal. They just bent and my springs got out of alignment anyway.

    Yeah , you need 3/16" min. Just thin enough to "warp" over the springs but thick enough to hold tension

    With the valence no longer on the front part of your bumper (the plastic piece you took out ) did you also take out the metal part that was attached to the frame behind that?

    No, the bumper you see is exactly as stock except the valance removal, remember the valance wraps the entire front w/marker or turnsignal lights on the valance....
