Sounds like you just have to drill out the bumper shocks from under the car, no need to take them off and then push them in. Sometimes pushing them in can be hard and you have to use something like a tree.
Check this out its pretty straight forward:

I have been thinking about doing it for a while now. It just makes me kind of nervous doing that to the bumpers... |
