No problem. They are the lowest profile bumps I have found. They seem to hold up well also - so that's good.

Amen to that, I think a lot of us want a closer look at this work.

I already have the drop i-beams but I want another 2 inches in the front. I've looked at it a couple times and it is possible but it involves more then just redrilling the pivot holes. Im pretty sure the crossmember needs to be notched and the brackets that hold the beams need to be modified.

The only thing I don't like about it is that the grill shell is black. It looks like only the drivers side brake light has the blue dot, I guess he didn't have time to put the other one in. LOL

I actually like the grill shell like that. I'd prefer the 73-75 style inserts in it as well - but that's just me.

As for the blue dot - it was probably a glue/stick on type that fell off.

I really like the grille. I have been thinking about a 73-75 grille for my truck when I re-do the hood.

Even this truck, as awesome as it is, I don't care for the black grill. It just throws it off to me. Maybe if it was body color it would be better. But James has an awesome truck.

Now I don't like that one quite as much as the other. I'm not a fan of the silver insert, etc. on that one. I think the black shell can work but it really depends on the color of the truck. That one may look better with the silver stuff black though.

This is all a personal preference thing of course and what makes it so our trucks don't all look exactly the same. My grill inserts and bumper are black on Muttly (74 crew) and I have contemplated powder coating the grill black, but I'm not sure I'll ever get to it. The black looks good with my odd, green color, but I don't think I'd like it too much on many other colors.
