Very nice, question when you truck is that high how do you avoid issues like the steering clunk or driveshaft issues that plague others with simple levels. I'm not mechanical so go easy. Those flushmounts are the best looking out here. How hard was it to drill the holes to fit em in.

Thank you everyone, It took me awhile to decide to cut into the bumper but once I did I made sure I measured everything over and over, covered the tailgate and the areas around the bumper where I was going to cut to avoid any metal sparks from embedding in. I drilled a hole in the corners and then used an pneumatic cut off wheel to cut the area between the holes and cleaned it up with some carbide debuting bits. After the hole was cut i sanded the edges smooth and painted the raw metal and clear coated.
I don't have any steering clunk but I did have to get a driveshaft custom made and pinion shims under my rear lift blocks to correct my driveline angle.

Those do look cool but I would be loath to cut into my bumper here in the salt belt.
