installation of howler system in 2013 chevy 2500 - pull front bumper or no?

[RecElect]

I have checked whelens website and cannot get an install manual for the howler 18 system which is for a 2013 chevy silverado 2500. Can anyone tell me, will the front bumper need to be removed in order to install the speakers? I would like to put on the front brush guard and get everything else finished up AS LONG as I don't have to pull it back off when the hower system gets here in a few weeks.


Judging from the older modles, I would infer that I do not need to pull the bumper, but with my luck, I will install the grill guard and have to pull it right back off...

Got the howler in, NO, you do not have to pull the front bumper BUT IF you are putting on a push bumper, you may be using some of the same holes for that bumpers brackets. We put on a go rhino and it used some of the same mounting locations.
