It ain't pretty, but I can't imagine it sagging now.

Nice, got any pics?

I tried to snap some but 4" off the ground, under the car doesn't work too well. Probably should have taken some when I had the bumper off. The piece I used is was 1/8" x 1/2". And I only used 30" - I was wrong on that measurement. I just made sure it went past the front cut out a couple inches on each side, yet tucked up toward the front as much as possible. The 1/8" x 1/2" I felt had the best combination of weight & rigidity.

And oh yeah. If you're going ot install a lip, just pull the bumper. So easy. Wife and I had it off in under 5 minutes. Could probably do it in 3 now.
