I cut most of what needed to come off with a band saw. Then grinded a little then dunked it in water. Repeat process.

Intake port size is a bit different but it works. Read my write-up on what it takes.
HO stands for Highly Overrated BTW.

Drivers side under the dash. If it is blown well just buy a variety pack in case any others are blown or look corroded so you can replace the bad one and he soon to be bad ones at the same time. you can also use a tool. gah i cant remember te name but its like a pointed screwdriver with a light bulb at the handle. You put the tip into the top of the fuse where there are two tiny metal spots. if it lights up then its good. This is a much faster method to find blown fuses. You can buy it at parts stores or if you have a Harbor Freight around you can get it there for cheaper

Overpriced and bulky IMHO, I'd go with something slim and solid. Think small names. L&l fab, jcr, ridgidco... Any bumper that offer bolt on stingers or hoops is a bumper tha I would never consider.

Old man emu is some good quality suspension. I believe they have 2" leaf packs. Runs a pretty penny but I've heard people say good things in the past round these parts
