I just got my bumper tonight. I spent 3 hours on trimming and test fitting by myself. All was cake except holding up the steering box and getting the bolts in one hand on each. This is just a test fit so now all I have to do is get it powder coated! The second picture is my 6" PIAA fogs temp mounted peaking over the hood. Once I have the spacers installed they will probably sit another 4" higher than the picture shows.

Love the bumper, construction, and most of all the weight. I didn't lose any noticeable lift so far, but I'm sure it'll take time to settle.

Did you have to cut the front fenders to get them to line up so nice?

Yes you must trim the fenders. Just use a straight edge and use the turn signal/headlight bezel as the point to keep straight with. It left me with about a 1/4" gap on the sides which matches the front. This bumper is sweet and still has good entrance/exit angles. Haven't touched it to a rock yet!
