Lastly, tighten everything into place!!!!

Enjoy, these rear bumpers (IMHO) are the best on the market!!!!

I recently bought/installed the BFH Fr/Rr bumpers. the ratchet advise is probably good, it was a tight fit and I wish after reading this that I would have done that. I didn't have a drill bit problem, I drilled a pilot hole and was good after that.

I did have a problem at the bottom of the tub. I had to cut a notch in the bottom of the tub. This was easier than cutting a notch in the bumper. The flange that bolts to the frame hit the bottom of the tub, not much but it rattled like mad before I cut it. Install it, check it, and then see if it hits before you cut anything. I like the look and strength of the bumpers and I'm happy I went with them over other options, just be aware they may not be just be a bolt on and run thing. The front had no issues.
