Thanks puller . I could not remember what you did to get it in a little further. I may be hitting the pick and pulls in vegas this weekend just to get some reference brackets and a bumper.

N2- Really like the look, do you have any other pics. Could you also give me any insight I might need to do this. Does the tailgate or hinges rub or interfere with this mod? Thanks jesse.........

We used the stock brackets and slid them forward. If I remember correctly the only thing that was in the way was the assist springs for the tailgate.
