I covered those bolts with a couple layers of cardboard when I did mine. Dad and I set it on with an engine hoist and chains to the mounting holes. we notched the mounts on the frame and the box too and set the box back about 1 1/2 inches. You can't tell that it is set back unless you measure it or have an awesome eye but then those big bumps don't dent the back of the cab anymore.
