Our shop is a dealer and I've installed them on the rear of several pick-ups. However, I assume you're wanting to put them on the front to help compensate for the weight of the plow. Although I haven't installed them on the front of a 4x4 I have installed them on the front of a C70 grain truck as well as my 2wd pulling truck. What are you wanting to know exactly?

well, im having trouble getting the front bumper stops off, i cant even see that they are rivited, there are rivits, but i think they are for the coil spring and shock bracket, i cant really get to them because the push plates are in the way, iv tried grinding them off but man that rubber goes everywhere, how are they on the rear, i got hellwig helperspring because of the weight i put i nthe back, their for 1000# pounds but i beg to differ, it did raise the truck alittle empty but when i load it , not really any help, i would think the rear set of timbrens would have to have big spacers in them

The rear ones replace the bump stops. Depending on application some of them come with brackets that u-bolt to the axle tube and/or come with brackets that attach to the truck frame. On our '02 f250 diesel they don't touch when the truck is unloaded but sit down on the axle when the gooseneck is hooked up. Some also come with a 1/2" or 3/4" hard rubber spacer that can be installed to increase the height.
