If the bumper is 2394, that's the one Iv got and what I would like to know how you like it?
And about how much did it squat the rearend?
To change from stock, all I have to do is unbolt the stock and slide the Body Armor and bolt in place, correct?
I just ordered one. And plan on ordering the matching tire carrier.
Thanks.

I like the bumper alot. Very easy installation on this one and easy for one person. The OE unbolts easily and the new one includes a bracket that sits inside the tube of the frame and allows you to bolt the B/A bumper down snuggly.

I have the tire carrier but not installed at this time. I'm on my OE 32's.... If you can notice a sagging in the back you have one good eye. I could not tell the difference.

Nope. It sits just fine. I do not have the tire carrier on right now. I did have to take my original bumper back as the post for mounting the carrier was not at true 90. I had the carrier hit the plate on the left side and it required work to get the think latched up. One piece of advice is to sand the carrier post on the bumper down to the metal otherwise your bearings will not slide down and seat right over the post.
