Well, you could look at switching to the one of the Lund bug shields. I went with the lund on my 02, and all that required was loosening the grill from the hood and sliding the shield in and tightening everything back up.
On my 99, I only had to take about an 1/8 of an inch off, and with the dark mopar bug shield and dark screen front, you can't tell anythings been cut.
I have pics if you would want to see them.
