Take the bumper and have it installed so you get the right angle on the bolts into the brackets and tac them off then pull it off and weld it.
If he is shaving the bolts off I think he knows to do all the rest himself. If not I guess he should hire it out.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
