- I used a Dewalt cordless sawzall with a metal cutting blade. Took < 30 seconds per side.

- As short as you like. The actual bumper itself (not the plastic) is really only useful from the crush cans and in between, everything else is just sheet metal.

- Do it and post some pics!

are you putting on stubbys that you bought? They have instructions telling you where to cut.

Measure and tape a nice line. Get a good recip saw with a good blade and give it hell. Sand your edges down if you don't have any end caps.
