If the front bumper mounts the same as mine, use 4 spacers and longer bolts (just like the body). The rear bumper used brackets on mine. Hope this helps. BTW, looks real good.

What`s about rubbing with those tires? I`m planning on doing the same, but if have to be sure that the tires don`t rub.

Did you have to trim a lot? Can you post some pictures of it?

Would it be better with 32"?

The op's truck is a ZR2 it came factory with more lift than a non ZR2 truck (and 31" tires were stock on them) for a non Z truck you wont fit 33's with the same added lift without rubbing issues.
