What did you guys do with the power steering cooler? it seems to be in the way and I don't think the bumper I have came with any way to relocate it...

Got the bumper and M8000 installed. It’s easier to just trace the black piece, rip it off, make the cut, remove the crash bar, and install the bumper. That’s all I did. No need to remove the front clip. The M8000 fits with zero modifications. @Mobtown Offroad

What kind of tool did you use to make the cut? It looks clean. When you say trace the black piece are you talking about the original lower bumper piece?

We are essential as hell!

You can use the slider install video less the extra clamps that the HD sliders come with.

As for the slimline bumper, unfortunately we do not have instructions. We've yet to install one in the shop to make the instructions. Let me try to explain it here.

Follow the PDF attachment on how to remove the bumper cover and crash bar. Stop at Step 10.

Put the bumper cover on something that is not going to scratch it facing upward so you are looking at the face. Where the black lower lip is on the front bumper (see attachment), trace the perimeter with a sharpie. Flip the bumper over so you are looking at the inside and remove that lip. Then the sharpie line is the cut line. Once cut, apply the edge trim that comes with the bumper and reverse the steps to put the bumper cover back on. Install your winch and/or light bar in the slimline bumper and then put the bumper up in place so that the studs on the front of the truck are through the slots. Loosely secure the nuts to hold the bumper on.

Then referencing this Youtube video of our front bumper install, go to the 19:15 mark to see how to install the side straps.

Final step is to install the frame reinforcements on the underside of the chassis. The go between the chassis and front sway bar bushings. Drop the front sway bar, put the brackets in place and through bolt the front of the reinforcements into the the slimline bumper using the supplied 3/8-16 x 4-1/2" long bolt, washers and nuts. See picture for a better explanation.

Go through and tighten any and all hardware and hook up the winch and light bar.

Edit for others who are thinking about this set up. You will need two power steering cooler relocation brackets to fit the winch.

My order did not come with these brackets so definitely get a pair from CBI before you install.

Also I did not remove the grill or bumper I imagined the lower valance as a guide and used an angle grinder to make the cut.
