Funny thing...my truck is currently at Mazzulla as we speak getting the exact bumper that you are asking about! I actually live 30-45 minutes away from Chris (Mazzulla's) shop, so I got ahold of them (after a few attempts...) and got my truck into them. I pick up the truck tomorrow and will update with pics and my impressions. My thoughts on the fact that they are hard to get ahold of...they definitely seem like the type of guys that rather have a tool in their hand rather than a phone or a computer, but I do see that they are not easy to get in touch with. I am definitely thinking that its going to be worth the efforts. I will update tomorrow...oh, and they do sell their bumper/skid plate kit through a retail store called Kartek in Corona, CA. If you live outside the area, I believe that you could call Kartek and mail order through them....
and LEEHWCAP, yes the frame has to be cut...I asked Chris about it and he said it has to be done so that they can get the low profile of the skid plate and I even asked the exact question if the stock bumper can be put back on (for resale). He told me that as long as i keep what they cut off, it can be re-welded on and the stock bumper can be reinstalled. As far as the insurance claim issue...Im curious myself...but I still got to have this bumper, Ill cross my fingers and hope I don't have to find out the hard way.
