This is advertised as a cut and fold bumper. I felt my xj was in in too good of shape to cut my quarters. I couldn't bring myself to do it. So.... I ordered this bumper, i then added 1/4" to each side so the body lines would line up, and re-bent the side panels to fit the factory body. I also added a third tie in point under the reese hitch, in order to keep the bumper from rotating if it actually had a load on it. Accuracy of the bends from the factory leave a little to be desired. It was a bit of a struggle to get all the pieces to line up. Inlove the way the bumper looks, and fits the jeep

Looks awesome…but as far as the kit quality. I had to add 1/4” plate to both ends where bumper and lower quarter pieces bolt together to fill a gap. The bumpers center section needs to be a 1/4” wider and both sides.

Great looking bumper. The DIY kits are very easy and fun to build. The fit was perfect.
