Agreed cutting would be cleaner. I just installed without cutting.

Crawler Concepts rear. No regrets on cutting the cross member....this thing is sleek and weighs as much as the stock set up did.

Check out "Rusty's Offroad" they have a great looking rear bumper, 3/16 plate steel and powder coated to your front door for about $400. I can post pics of mine when a get a few minutes if interested.

Default Body Armor

I have the Body Armor high clearance and have been happy with it. Pretty minimal, tight to the body for more clearance, factory hitch stays, no cutting, and won't break the bank...not much over 3 bills.
