Honestly all I did was beat the back of the fender in a lil bit. And I haven't even trimmed the bumper. I only rubs if u hit a bump an it's turn half way. But I'm putting the winch bumper on to fix that. But it does actually have ford keys. (did that before I knew I didn't need them) it's cranked pretty high. Angles are pretty bad, but I do have the balljoints flipped. And it really doesn't ride that horrible. Unless I'm hauling ass down a trail it has very limited down travel.

And yes it wears parts out fast. It need a wheel bearing, pitman arm, idler and lower balljoints. As of now
