    I think it is a US Offroad bumper and you have to cut off the ‘loop’ on the drivers side, remove the aluminum crush thing and cut out the bottom of the stock number to install it. Everything else is the same and you cut the bumper cover so that it tucks into the bumper.
    It really doesn’t add that much weight to the truck and the shackle points are great, much better than stock.
    If you truly want it out, then you will have to replace the entire bumper cover and all the items that are mounted behind it. The aluminum thing and brackets.
    This is from memory. I installed mine back in ‘14 and I traded my truck in back in late dec/ early Jan.

    Update: Truck is mine! It's in awesome condition. Super stoked about the purchase. Been searching for the right truck for about 3 months now! Gonna make an official account now. This was just a burner account, ha! Was listening to Cats in the Cradle on the way to pick it up. I can't stop calling it 'little boy blue' now, haha. And i'm sure as hell the 'man on the moon' :D Cheers for all the input yall. Gonna keep the mods for now. See yall on the new account.
