Once he gets his lift done, and does some more trimming on his fenders, it is going to look SWEET 
Hey Clown, I have these 2 weekends off (10-12 & 16-18), gonna be helping a guy lay out his bumper. Can get the welding done then if you are off....

Thanks a lot, man! Just a test fit there. Lots of fender rub, but it looks sick. I was sitting on my tires with my feet off the ground, so I think I'll need some flares lol
Again, thanks! Lovin the compliments since I finally have something to show off

Speaking of lights...
Maryland allows 2 usable auxillary lights on the front. Cannot find anything though on size and placement. Looking at mounting and wiring 2 Hella 500FF's into the headlight circuit, that way they go off when brights are on. They will be a little lower than the headlights and to the center of bumper. Think it would be legal???

Mine are mounted on top of the bumper, and are switched on/off. They do not need to turn off with high/lo beams.

I plan on wiring into the existing stock foglight circuit, which turns off when the brights are on. The Hella's are 55W, but 5" round. Guess if I aim them right, no one should complain.

Just had this up yesterday, but I didn't save the link. There are min and max height, as well as position from center/edges of vehicle. For the record, spot lights and floods don't count against the total. It's worded to include only driving lights, and it limits us to two fog lights.

I'll run em until I get pulled over, and if I get an inspection ticket I'll turn them off and cover them on the spot.

ah ok. Make sure you add a relay for those - the stock switch can't take the load from those.

I have the regs bookmarked. 2 of the 4 lights would be covered, regs dont cover max size of "auxillary lighting' though, unless I am overlooking something...

D. Fog Lamp and Auxiliary Driving Lamps. (A spot lamp is not considered an auxiliary driving lamp and has no set mounting height by law. Therefore, they need not be inspected.) If a vehicle is equipped with either fog lamps or auxiliary driving lamps they shall be properly aimed. Fog lamps shall be mounted on the front of the vehicle at a height not more than 30 inches or less than 12 inches above the level surface on which a vehicle stands. Only two fog lamps are allowed by law. Auxiliary driving lamps shall be mounted on the front of the vehicle at a height not more than 42 inches or less than 16 inches above the level surface on which the vehicle stands. Only two auxiliary lamps are allowed by law. The mounting heights of auxiliary driving lamps do not apply to emergency vehicles. Whenever a motor vehicle equipped with required headlamps also is equipped with any auxiliary lamps or a spot lamp or any other lamp on its front, projecting a beam of intensity greater than 300 candlepower, not more than four of these lamps on the front of a vehicle may be lighted at any one time when on a highway.
Fail if:
(4) Vehicle is equipped with more than two operable fog lamps.
(5) Vehicle is equipped with more than two auxiliary driving lamps.
