I don't have a link. I see you also have an '08 so it's pretty straight forward. Disconnect your fog lights if you have them, remove the lower portion of your front bumper, mount your lightbar, then go in reverse steps.

It's a 24". Perfect size for '08 bumper and still lets plenty of air in on both sides for cooling.

Here's my install. I think the 06-08 trucks are slightly different.

What I have to watch out for is the fact I have the large trans cooler. I need to make sure it gets air.

You can always relocate the trans cooler up behind the grille. That's what I ended up doing.

How hard was it to relocate it? I have a after market cooler I could replace it with.

Not hard at all. Cut the rubber inlet and outlet lines and spiced in about a foot and a half of new hose to move it up.
