Lift kit front bumper bracket question

Hi,

I have a 3" body lift in my 1970 F250 4x4. Since the body is lifted 3" the front bumper will not go back on without hitting the metal that is normally behind it. Anyone know of a bumper bracket that can be bought to raise the bumper up?

Thanks,
Lee

Lift kit front bumper bracket question

I put a 3" body lift on my 78 F250... i had the same problem. What i did was buy a 3" piece of square metal tubing and welded it the frame. I then drilled a hole in the top of the metal tubing for the top bolt and then redrilled the hole for the front bolt. It worked out well.

best of luck.
