OK, got the Eibachs on with no trouble. Now I am planning on putting on the 1.5" body lift. How much trouble is it to remove the bumpers and can anyone give me some info on how best to approach it? Thanks in advance

2 main bolts each side that you have to get to from up underneath and behind the bumpers and remove the nuts for. you may also have to remove the inner fender plastic junk and any sort of splash guard. oh, and also a bracket from the frame to the edge of the bumper both front and rear, sort-of a stabilizing bracket.

Hey Dave
That plastic crap has fasteners that look as if they are phillips heads screws but they are not. Do you just yank em out and replace them?

grab them with needle-nose pliers and unscrew them or you will mess them up. or you can just yank them, i did, broke about half of 'em, but like i care! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Remove the plastic "screws" with a screwdriver then the 'keeper' will pop right out. You can re-use everything. A much better (reuseable) design than the old "christmas tree" clips of yester-year.
