Mikey Likey. Lol They should be easy to mount and integrate into wells and frame since they're so small.

Took the front bumper plastic molding off and put metal back on only. I painted it semi gloss enamel black and affixed my license plate with two small drilled holes.
It was free and I love the looks of it! I plan to weld tabs to add 2x4" LED flood lights where the stock fog lamps were. I'm also going to cut each side of the metal bumper in counter with the grille to make it narrower.
I can't even tell you how much I hated the stock plastic bumper. Darn thing is going on CL!

Also thought I would mention. I have the 3.6L and (eek!) 3.21 gears. I really am not all that heavy on the small pedal and for me, the differnece in power/torque etc. has been less than trivial. I also admit, the "new to me" tires I put on are worn 35's so i am not getting the true 35" perspective.
But...
I am happy!

Hey man saw you say blue rtv. Spacers you need to use red lock tite man tires can be really bad if they come off nice build though mines a budget one too.

Thanks Pyro. I had read that Blue RTV was a good option for the spacers. In reality, in looking at the directions and talking with the vendor of the spaces, Loctite wasn't even recommended. I just did it out of precaution and made sure I torqued in a star pattern to 95ft.lbs.

Added a new feature and lost about 100hp doing it! But it's worth it!
