    those guards are so over priced lol

    all it is is thick rubber matting, see if tractor supply has some and make your own. I personally don't think those things are worth the $90-$100 they go for. my buddy made his own out of some rubber matting he had sitting around his house, they look just as good.

    It's not bad man. Just follow them. Did a few on my older trucks that I had and it was easy with the direction

    Is the rear bumper attached to the frame or the body bc a shop quotes me 700 and said the reR bumper will remain low

    I thought it was attached to the frame, but all the pics I could find show the bumpers up with the body... You should be able to look underneath the back and see where the brackets are attached.

    ouch! $700 to install a $200 lift?

    I would think the bumper would mount to the frame like the F150s, why would they mount it to the body when you're able to put a ball on the bumper to tow a small trailer?

    Ive been wrong before!

    So if I lift the body then the bumpers in gona look stupid with the gap. What about the front bumper

    There should be relocation brackets available to move the bumpers up the 2"

    Look like this
