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.
