Yea I found that for 80 bucks same price as the other the day after I bent the crap out of the die holder but yea I used a hydrolic bender at the shop, it's actually like 5ish bends making one turned out pretty smooth. I love that I work there now and if I come in on Saturdays I can work on personal projects or overtime

When doing the bolt on option us the bottom of the frame rail not the side.... If you use the side find another place for your radiator and ac condenser otherwise you might have well just welded it in
