You used front or rear?

I use my rear all the time. We're talking about front.

Right my front

My .02... Buy a bumper for recovery. I used mine but I would have rather put the money toward my bumper. Also, it hangs low, hence why there is dirt stuck in it. Kills approach angles.

^^^this is very true. When I have the money to upgrade my bumper I'm ditching the hooks and hitch I have for better angles

I picked mine up for $285 shipped to my door. It was $15 off normal price plus the extended side version costs an extra $15, mine came bare metal too. Saved a few there.

Sleep is over rated. You can sleep when you die.

IMO, go with a smaller leaf and shackle/ relocation bracket set up for better articulation and ride.

Yes can I get those part numbers from you and where you got them. I prefer to go to a local auto part store over a dealership. Also any pictures of how much you grind off them?
