ok thanks man i thought thats what i'd have to do but i wasnt sure and i didnt wanna start cutting stuff of if i didnt need to thanks for the info bro
yes its the crush guard and needs to be trimmed. i completely removed mine from the front and back because of my old kit. there was literally nothin' left so i just drilled out the rivets and took them off
I took mine completely off the front. And for the back I used a sawsall. The crush gave the somewhat flimsy type J rear good reinforcement.
