You have to cut the frame horns, there are brackets available. I personally would never cut the frame horns, I'd build a custom bumper..

drill new holes in the rear. for the front use 2" 1/4 angle about 6" long. bolt that to the frame and mount the bumper to it. its stronger that that junk they give you with the kit, moves the bumper forward about 1" and up, makes for a better place to stand when workin on the engine or cut the old one off (angle) and reweld higher up on the frame. no frame notch to cut.
