Access to body mounts behind grill
I'm thinking of installing a 1" body lift, and I see on some instructions online that they remove the grill to install the new parts at the front end.
Is removing the grill the only way to get to these?
My aftermarket bumper/winch make this a PITA and I may have to pull the bumper to get the grill off. I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks for any input.

I know the grill removal is normally easy, I've done it several times before my other mods.
My winch has the electrical leads coming right off the back of it, so they are pinched and pushing right up against the lower part of the grill. I could probably disconnect the grill at the top and flex it forward a ways, but to get the bottom of the grill clear would require unbolting the bumper to pull it forward a few inches.
Sounds like I might just have to deal with it.
