I actually took it from it's perch on the lower rad support made a bracket and anchored it to the upper rad support which brought it up just level with the bottom of the frame rail and when j get the body lift it will bring it up three more inches

I thought about it but while I was in the design stages u wanted more approach angle than the stock bumper could offer so it got scrapped

No snow on the ground yet? I heard Calgary got a dump the other night. Snow and ice add even more fun.
