What do you mean? Brackets to raise the bumpers to line up with a 3-inch body lift? If so, I've never seen them. All I ever see are longer hardware and the plastic blocks for the cab, bed, and core support.

Remember you'll have to address the fuel filler neck, parking brake cable, hard lines at the MC, maybe a longer starter cable, and re-clock or extend the radiator hoses since the radiator is mounted to the core support.

I put a 3 inch body lift on my old 77.5 F-250 and did not need to address any of those things. I guess all trucks are different because a lot of people say that but the only thing I had to do was extend rod to the clutch pedal. The truck didn't have a radiator shroud or that would have been a prob but everything else was long enough. The brake lines are coiled up at the master cylinder so there was plenty of room there.

There were bumper brackets made for dents such as highboys like my 76 F.250 and you will have to cut them and reweld them up higher. I am gonna be doing this to my truck soon. Good luck with your lift.
