yeah it would. he did a wrap around and matched the angle on the back of the fenders. with the single it would look pretty stupid with a wrap around. it would be stupid easy to do if you can weld or know some one who can. for the bracket, he used the bracket from the old bumper. he just notched the tube and welded it solid. the skirt on the bottom is out of 10 ga. tread plate. about a 15 degree angle towards the front of the truck from end to end then about 8" in the center was flat right where it went over the reciever tube. i'll see if i can get a picture of it on here.
