This is what I did on my 01. Cut a couple inches off the frame ends. Cut directly in front of where the towhooks mount. Then use your OEM hardware to mount a set of OEM towhooks from a 88-98 GM 4x4 inside the framerails. This way they line up almost perfectly with the cutouts in the valance. I have some pics in my gallary at FTW.

Thanks my favorite BL mod so far lol
not much mayb an inch or two triangle at the bottom of the frame horn with a cutting wheel then used a grinder to smooth it out for a better fit.
06 2wd valence was $70 from my local dealership. the majority of the holes on the valence lined up with my 05 bumper, with the exception of 2 , but as you can see it fits pretty good. they re not hard to install , just take out the foglights and then its about 10-12 bolts you have to remove
