For those of you who have removed their bumper reinforcements... do you have any problems with bumper sag? My Kouki bumper sags a lot mainly because the mounts where the bumper support connect to the core support on the left and right are rusted, so they are temporarily ziptied on right now. However, before they got rusty, the bumper still sagged.

Its called a bumper support for a reason..... put it back on! Or make your own smaller supports from some flat stock.

Is the foam still there? If not, the bumper isn't "supported."

well i thought bout this, on the chuki supports on the side there is a triangle shaped piece that the piggy doesnt have, well since mine was origanlly a chuki, i cut those triangle things off to fit the piggy i had,

could that be a reason why it sags, because everything is bolted up!
