I did mine on Ft Hood just paid garage fees and a small fee to have someone weld the rear bumper back together but over all i did it myself and it cost me $110 the garage had tools you borrow for free and it was like $3/hr without a lift... i used a 2 ton jack and a **** load of wood to lift it haha just did one side at a time heres some pics to explain lol orob not the safe way to do it but it got done

see look, it makes it right at the bottom of the grille.
wow that does look good... I would have to figure out something to put in place of where I have the tow hook cutouts... If I raised up the body 3" then i think the bull bar would go under the valence/bumper and leave those big square holes....

Here's pictures to help you. The bullbar actually ''cover'' the holes and the kit comes with rubber ''covers'' to put in the holes.

Without


With


And before the body lift
