How was putting on the newer style bumper? When I put mine on I had a little issues with it lining up and not scratching paint. It looks real good.

Actually, easy. I put the bumper on a milk crate and made sure it was level. Then slowly jacked up the rear of my truck till they lined up. Slid the milk crate and bumper back till they looked good. Measured, cut brackets tacked everything... pulled it all apart and welded brackets up. Painted em, bolted it right up. Gave it the stand and jump on test...
