The only problem with backdating on the rear is the rubber bumper top. The span across the center allows the rubber to droop slightly. The fix is to weld on a tab like factory had to suport in the center, or to use one of the new rear bumper tops I'm working on as it has an internal stainless support across the 3 center studs. I don't have it out yet but in about 2 weeks I'll have pictures and will be taking orders.
