Worked out fine the first time. I decided to snug up all the bolts before putting the bumper on, as I was working along and thought it would be better if it wasn't floppy. Something like 16 of them can be torqued all the way, but the instructions (from the DIY) said leave the other 4 loose - i left those snug. I used a transmission jack (flat top) as a work platform which worked great - cranked it up till the height was right, then slid the bumper in to engage the ears on each side. Had to go back and forth from side to side a couple of times, as it seemed to like to engage one side and then pop out when I walked aroud to the other side (this is where two people would help). But, it stayed put and I put the two big bolts in with no trouble and it was lined up with an acceptable visual gap.

I thought about breaking out my laser level then decided I would rather get cleaned up and go to bed :-). Good luck!
