That is assuming you have a table or work bench to clamp the plate to for bending purposes, a welder and a grinder....

Why you dont ask the renix guy... ill never know...
Hay Jake,
Forget I own a renix also
Problem #1 - Sensor for Electric fan shot
Problem #2 - Looks like he has baby **** for coolant

He pulled into my buddies driveway yesterday and she blew. Only lost 1/2 gallon of water. Im not convinced that it is the water pump or t-stat, thinking more along the lines of blockage.
Fan Clutch worked OK also....

I mean I know its savings but when you lift, run taller/wider tires, regear, put heavy bumpers on, huge wind obstructions... just dont set your hopes too high

I get around 16MPG with 3.5 lift and 31x10.5, I put my spare on the roof and it dropped 3 mpg lol thats all I am saying. On the hunt for MPG you gotta watch mods.
