Never, EVER end your sentences with a preposition. The science is settled on this issue.

There is nothing wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition particularly when you have to change the sentence into a convoluted mess to get rid of it.

Not that this sentence is using the word as a standard preposition in any case.
