Just be patient remember that all truck frames are not exactly the same... So be patient and have shims available...

It's not too bad of a job ironside. I put my stealth fighter on wednesday. took about three and a half hours to install the bumper, winch, lights, and do the wiring.
Just don't forget the two bolts under the hood release handle.
Birdman has a youtube video that shows how to remove the stock bumper. check it out. Wicked Performance Urban Assault Installation Video - YouTube

I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these. I need a measurment of what this adds to the front of the truck without the hoop for the lights.
Good luck with the install!

After watching Bird's video I think the stock bumper took me maybe 10 minutes tops to get off and some of that was fishing for the right sockets in my took kit.

I can see what I can do for you about some measurements. But maybe add could answer better for you.
