Bumper brackets
Hello I am new to this forum so I don't know how this works but here it goes. I just recently put a 3 inch body lift on my 1977 ford short bed but can not find front bumper brackets for my truck. Do I need to fab some or is there an aftermarket replacement option?

I have never seen a company that sales body lifts sale the bumper lift brackets.
A trick for that issue it to modify those brackets in the pic. If you do not have those brackets, or a welder, you could get a welding shop to make you some I am sure.
Another trick is to cut off the very end of your frame horns and raise them up. Do a search on that, it has been done and documented on here with pics.

This thread has some good info and pictures on modifying the front frame horns to raise the bumper.
