i kinda have to agree here. the pivot point/joint is the only thing (and the first thing i might add!!!) i have scrapped as well. i am a little concerned about that.

the other question i have is, with the front wheels so exposed, what do you think will happen in the rain or when splashing through puddles. when i put a 3in lift on my superduty, it significantly changed the way water splashed out of the wheels wells. there was suddenly A LOT of water splashing out further in front of the truck. i can only assume because the front tires weren't as protected.

would this then result in the same issue???

how bad might this be moddified with the lift???

and i like the bumper, but it seems like, from the front view, the tires are a little.....exposed. with a lift (say the calmini 5 inch!) would this stance loook a little....well....lanky (for lack of a better term)..???
