any tips on installing front bumper pad

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if you had any tips on installing the front bumper pads on the 05 to 07 super duties. I am worried about breaking the clips that hold it on. If you guys have any experience with them it would be greatly appreciated.

I have R and R(ed) two and there are no real issues in doing it
did them both in the summer so that may have helped keep the tabs from breaking but they don't have to move that much

helps to have a bumper stand and 3/8 impact wrench to make things go faster

also be sure to pry all the push clips out, there are a few under brackets

also are you removing it to paint?
some shops may want it left on

and if you want to get picky you can make a bar to straighten the part under the grill that usually has a few waves in it.
