Pull the whole bumper assembly off (rather then dropping the mufflers like you have to do to just remove the bumper cover on a 4.8is - dual exhaust tips are in the way of bolts). Took me maybe 3 hours but overall not difficult at all.

Before and after pics below.
Mani want a set of those bumpers so bad.
