try your local welding shop or your home garage! firsdt it will be cheaper if you fab it yourself and 2 you will gain experience.

If you don't have the skills call BDS cause they sure make'em and sell'em http://www.bds-suspension.com/bodysystems_ford.html

I've never seen a kit with them. The reason being is b/c the 80-86 bumpers bolt to the front frame, and later models bolt through the side of the frame.

in answer to your original question no...i don't know who makes body lift bumper brackets b/c i don't have a body lift and don't care too BUT if you CALL (like i suggested) them they prolly can help you! But, like i said earlier you might try fabbing a set yourslef, really can't be too hard! that's your best bet

here's my bumper brackets
