No, I didn't take the drive train out just to install this kit. While I don't have a nice bumper to put back on, I figured this was the time to install this kit. The only issue I had was 1 hole wasn't lined up very well on the driver side. I did grind it out some and in went the bolt. I wish they included lock washers with the unibody tie in kit though.

No you do not. If you already have the bumper removed, it takes maybe 20 minutes to install and torque the bolts.

Yeah, this was the perfect time to add this kit. Right in the middle of a 4wd swap in all.
