Removing the bumper gives you a lot more clearence, I cut the wires about 4" after they came out of the car and just put connectors on the wires for the next time I need to remove it. You gain about 6" or more with the bumper off so you don't have to jack the car as high or at such a crazy angle, getting the front up 6-8" will help with the angle issue as well, I've seen some pic's. Took it off to add a exhaust from RarlyL8 have yet to do an engine drop. good luck
