Go ahead Adam. You don't have to ask

X2. That front bumper is just way too big.

SmokedRam 04-25-2012 10:45 PM

Yeah, no offense, but it just doesnt fit the stance of the truck and from reading your mod list, it doesn't look like you're planning on throwing a BIG lift kit on it...maybe if you were gonna say lift it...like 7"+...yes, it would fit in.

garner 04-25-2012 10:58 PM

I like my bumper :( It might fit in more once I get the back one on. And I would do a 7" lift but that requires new wheels cause the factory wheels have more than 5" backspace needed for the spindles so it would be around $5,000 for the lift, wheels, and tires. So I'm just doing the 3" level for a couple hundred bucks

garner 04-25-2012 11:44 PM

Here you go Adam. Although I would still go with a diamond plate back bumper replacement like the front
