    I'm a little nervous about cutting Into the rear of my truck. Can anyone recommend a shop to use. It's a bruteforcefab rear.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm sure if you take some Dr Pepper or ammo to @3378jakesr5, he will give you some guidance and possibly pat on back if you mess up.

    Angle grinder angle grinder angle grinder. Thats all you need and a strait line to follow, cut the fender first and i recomend an isolating cutter to do that. The cleanest way yet to cut them.

    theres threads on here that walk you through it. I have a BF HC bumper. you pretty much just cut along the bottom of the tail light, all the way to the fender. Use painters tape and draw your line. Draw a line or 2 below your "FINAL CUT" line so you can practice before hand (thats what I did).

    "the first cut is the deeeeeepeeessstttt" and the hardest, after that theres no going back so youre golden! haha

    trust yourself and check out the threads that are a "how to:" for the HC bumper.

    I was told by Billy, to leave the flares on. Otherwise, lining the flares and the piece that you cut off, is really hard..

    Take a long level or block of wood that can sit across the bed from side to side and than make your measurment and follow that all the way along and now you have a level cut line.

    I didnt do that, because I didnt want to remove my softopper. But yes, that is the procedure that I have as well.
