It was suppose to just bolt up without any grinding though. Here is a pic of the brackets that i had to grind down a little. It was easy just time consuming. If you are mechanically incline you would be fine doing it yourself. And if you get stumped with something there are plenty of people on here that have done it.

I like that grill. I have been tryin to find a black powdercoated one like that. I havent done the gears yet. I think i may get a winch before i do the gears. Probably gonna go with 4.56 though when i do it.

Don't even think of doing anything else before the gears!!!!!! I can't even tell you the diff it makes. Once you do them you will understand. And yes 4:56 is the way to go.
