    Someone backed into my truck when it was parked and left a big dent in my bumper I'm wanting to replace it but it seems like I need to cut the factory bumper for most replacements anyone have any ideas on the way around this or have you installed one of these bumpers without cutting?

    Once you cut that piece off the bumper cover to reinstall on your truck, it will straighten out and look normal.

    I'm hoping that's the case I'd hate to have to pay to fix a bumper just to cut it up.

    Remove the wheel-well liner to get access behind that and pop it out. I think you'll be surprised how well it pops back out.
