i should have mine very soon, im hoping it comes today or tomorrow, but i think that might be a bit ambitious of me. ill keep my fingers crossed though! that would be perfect!

right now i cant afford the piaa fogs i want, so i will be making some brackets for some 40 dollar fogs that will eventually end up on the side of my rack or under the truck.

i will do a FULL write up on the bumper, including my experiences with customer service, (REALLY awesome customer service, which makes up for the long wait!!!!) and including fitting cheapo fogs to the 4 inch tunnels.

yep, all the way up.

im happy with that gap actually. there is alot of evidence of the stock bumper (all bent up from a driveway accident) rubbing on the fenders.

when i do my 1 inch body lift, i will not move the bumper, just add some rubber trim to cover the gap.

well to do any kind of lift with the normal bracket, you will have to customize it a bit.

the bumper needs to be away from the body because the body can move relative to the frame by as much as 2-3 inches.

that is a pic of the turn signal provided with the bumper, inbetween flash and off (couldnt capture it at full brightness). i really like the new turn signals at night, and they are pretty good during the day time too. i think i may switch to LED bulbs.

did not have "stock" fog lights. i purchased some 40 dollar ones from autozone, just have to build a bracket. those will suffice until i can afford the money for the piaa 510's. those go in the larger round hole.

Some fog lights would look good in those empty holes, you should paint it black too!
