3 inch Body - bumper lift help

Anyone with a 3 inch body lift kit?
Where did you get your bumper lift brackets?
Previous owner put on a body lift over 3 years ago
and never raised the bumpers. Anyone know where
to get them or where i can have some made?

I would remove it but now i dont feel like bothering
with it.


Thanks.

You will have to make them on your own, there is no kit.

Here you go..... its easy.

If you do not want to cut the front frame horns you will have to notch the bottom of your bumper and get longer bolts for the top holes. And get some square steel block material and block it up. IMO cut the frame slide the horns up.

Then get a ol receiver from the back of a JY rig and put in the front with a slide in receiver area for towing out chebbys.....

No on the rear, because those are a main part of the frame around your rear tank.
Since its a flat to flat bolt up application most people maker riser plates.

If you do not have the metal/welder or skills to do it, just get a local welding shop to do it, should be fairly cheap.
