Yes, Several threads on this subject already. Do some searching.
I installed BF on my 2017 Axis last fall (and I love it so far). It will be the same for the 2018 models.
I would highly suggest either having BF install it themselves (They do it quickly and resonable - located in Sturgis MI) or install yourself but have the brackets welded on.
I bolted mine on and it took forever to drill the holes.... I know .... Drilling holes... no big deal right? NOPE. And I have a garage full of tools and have done 100's of hard jobs on cars, jeeps, trucks, homes etc.
The frame on the rear is very thick (double thick - its were the frame extention is welded on for the RV conversion) and I guess its very hard metal.
I used up like 20 drill bits on 8 holes - slowly graduating up in size (and breaking/ wearing them out like crazy - even with cuting oil).
The Best bits were the "step bits" from Harbor Freight. Get like 4 sets to start with and use your impact driver/drill. This is what I had the most success with in the end (I should have used them from the start).
Good luck and let us know if you have any question.
