[QUOTE="Raptor911, post: 749334, member: 7538"] RDFTS ... As you know, the lower portion of your bumper attaches to the lower frame using the stock steering rack bolts. Please note this bolt is a 26mm and it is massive (see pics below). I hope you have an air impact wrench as Ford has these 2 bolts on there right. Follow these instructions: - park on level ground with the wheels turned straight. - when you remove the 2 bolts, support the steering wrack with a floor jack. If you don't support the steering rack, it will move and then you will not be able to reinstall the bolts. From reading lots of install threads I don't understand why lots of folks are using standard sockets when most if not all bolts on the raptor are metric. When I spoke to RPG about the removal of the steering rack bolts they told me I could use a standard size socket. Yes you can do this but because these 2 bolts are on so tight you will start to round off your head using a standard socket instead of using the correct metric socket.
