bumper sink in

If you get it on there and dont like how unsupported it feels, you might want to make a bracket from the top of the bumper brackets you swapped to the inside of the bumper to add top support. I didnt mess with it because we were trying to lose weight. Also with this way the bumper shocks are still usuable but if you do hit anything the shocks will compress and the bumper will go into your fenders so while your that far you might want to weld up the shocks so it hold the bumper in place and you dont risk your fenders as much. We welded the shock tubes on both sides and cut off the excess thats inside the frame to lose more weight.

nope then ill have a real reason to tell my mom why i need to get new fenders

can you show a picture of the way its mounted?
i get close to getting it too fit but it just wont fit on there now, did you have to grind the top of the brackets to let the long bumper support that the (chrome attaches to) sit properly down to get the holes to line up?

did you leave the bolts loose for where they attach to the shocks? Cause they have an up and down adjustment. Ill try and get pics ASAP

do it like black chevelle did you dont mess with the shocks and you dont lose reliability i know i got the unwanted chance of testing it out when this idiot cut me off on halloween and then slammed on his breaks while it was RAINING!

ok now this is pissing me off and theres another dent in the bumper and some bloody knuckles, brused feet and knees, keeps falling off, anyways, i have tried it all and there is always something that wont work it wont go over the shock mount cuz of the way they go up on the ends its just an inch to far out to get it to work. only thing i can think of is to gring the top of the shock mounts flat?

Post a pic of how you have the brackets and what your having a problem with. I couldnt get a good pic of ours

Hey corey did you ever get it figured out?

nope its just not working but ill take some pictures to show you later

with just the chrome on it wont go on far enough at all

BUT this is with the plastic under it still and the is too much of a gap about an inch up and a inch to far back

i was thinking about grinding the bottom of the brackets to conture with the bumper inside then cutting the holes out a little further where the bracket attaches to the shocks so i can move it down more and a small cut in the same holes going toward the front of the car to move the bracket more toward the bumper so it can line up.

Are those the brackets that were closer to the radiator? or the ones closest to the parking lights? The ones that were right behind the parking lights were to be discarded. The ones closest to the radiator were to swap sides as meaning passenger and drivers side. There will be no brackets behind the parking lights.

when i use those they are to big ill try agian tomorrow and see it i can get it to work this time ill have some help holding it up while i try to get it adjusted

yea youll need help that bumper is HEAVY!! But thats the way we did it and it fit.

hay corey instead of having two bolts like in the picture use only the top one i guarantee that will fix your problem i only got four bolts holding my bumper on and it works fine till i fab up some custom brackets

p.s. it aint that heavy
