Why won't it fit? is the body of the bumper going to hit the frame? Whoever did the body lift on my truck, before I got it, cut the front of the frame off, right in front of the bumper mounts, so it would clear.

These are the only pictures I have that can show how its cut. The truck is over 1000 miles away right now.
