Yeah, the step bumper was a no go...you wouldn't believe how we got the bow out of this front bumper... LOL. the step bumper mounts were cut off about 3 inches and provided just enough material for mounting the bumper. the trick was that the frame rails were a few inches wider than the bolt holes on the bumper...the excess mount material was used to adapt between the two, little welding, little fabrication and wala...
