Front and rear bumpers

Has anyone done any work to the front or rear(sport) bumpers for these trucks to make them "fit" better? Smooth the bolt holes? Scetion the bumpers to bring the sides in closer? Section or move the mounts to bring it closer to the body? If you have can you post some pics?

Re: Front and rear bumpers

some of the guys on here have tucked the bumpers in closer to the body, they should post up some pics...you could section the bumper to make is shorter, but then you'd probably have to paint the bumper...you could rechrome it, but I don't know how well it would look...

Re: Front and rear bumpers

I have seen them done on tv(not for our truck) none the less and I like the results. I can get a front and rear bumper from the junkyard for cheap so I figured I could give it a shot and see what happened. I remember seeing some moved in closer to the body on the rear.
