    when you do your front you lower the whole front of the frame down including the bumper brackets. Im not sure how you would do a rear bumper tho..never seen it done. I guess you would have to make dif brackets

    For the rear... you do the same as the front or make brackets to keep a bumper.. for the roll pan, you cut the frame before the end of the bed, add a brace, then bd the bed.

    for the front, you cut from the front side (the side closest to the motor) of the core support/radiator and just drop i t down.
