Hey all, just got my poison Spyder BFH rear bumper...called the company for instructions and they said alot of guys would just remove the rear crossmember and weld in a 2x3 box as an option. Who has this bumper and what did you do to install it. I really like the bumper and already commited to the cuts for the template...no going back now. Any help appreciated!

 

Can't really help you with the rear but I do have a BFH front. On my install I called a few local body shops and asked if they could help a brother out with the cuts since I didn't have a plasma cutter. For 40 bux they made the cuts, ground the rest down and even through some paint on it. Just a thought.... I know I'll be going this route again when I'm ready for the rear BFH bumper.

 

My brother is running this bumper. We got a little frustrated with the cutting, we just removed that middle piece altogether.

 

Get rid off the cheesy crossmember, I did. The bumper is way stronger anyways. Sawzall, cut off wheel and a big rubber mallet, oh and a few beers is what it took to get mine on.

 

I tried to save part of the crossmember and after an hour of cutting, recutting, and cursing I just gave up and cut it out altogether.

The bumper seems to provide plenty of strength at the rear so I didn't see the need to fiddle with the crossmember any longer!

 

Damn, I got started cutting and didnt finish. Not worth hot metal flying in your face, I got an appointment at Dave's shop tomorrow. Did any of you cut several inches off the stock muffler tip?

 

Put on a long sleeve shirt, gloves, and some safety glasses and go to town. I did mine in shorts and flip flops...lol. I cut a few inches off my exhaust

 

I also cut 2 or 3" off the factory exhaust after I did my bfh.

 

If you guys removed the rear cross member completely, What is supporting your rear body mounts?

 

Minus one rear cross member
