    How does one reach BFF. I attempted to use the contact form on his site and it looked like it did not go through.

    I have his bumpers on my truck and have a few follow up questions better asked direct.

    That long piece that connects the two headlight? I trimmed mine with an air saw just enough, well a little more than anticipated, and reinstalled. No more shaky headlights. I had the trimmed section just laying around the side of my house but just threw it out a week or so ago.

    Pmd.

    The center piece is gone completely. I took the headlight pieces, hooked them over the stud on the parts coming off the radiator support, tack welded them together, and cut off what was hitting. These braces hold up your headlight housing, so I would try to keep as much as you can

    Ya that’s what I’m seeing as the best plan. I txted billy and he sent me some photos and directions for the install. Funny I chopped my bedsides fine but that front support thing was a pain in my ass

    Hi-Lift mount is offered by BFF. Don't remember if it was standard or an option. It attaches the Hi-lift horizontally to the bumper.

    The shovel is attached to the Hi-lift bar with two bolts going through two holes in the bar and into the shovel via two drilled holes: at the handle and at the neck of the shovel and used wing nuts to secure. I tried to drill holes that weren't too big and tried to locate the holes where it seemed it didn't compromise strength.

    Couldn’t fit both in the bed for going to powder coat so I just slapped the front one on since I’ve been running naked for a week.

    That is at the bottom of the frame where the bottom of the bumper mounts, you have to remove a couple small "wings" that are held in with 1 bolt on each side.
