wondering.. with a body lift, how did you guys get the front bumper up? Mines still down the 2 inches.. and I hate it, did you make up some type of bracket.. or what? pics would be amazing lol

 

The instructions tell you to bring it up two inches and drill new holes.

But who reads those anyway right?

 

well this is the 2nd body lift i had got none, neither shop has done this.. and I did remove a bumper before, and I cant explain well.. but atleast 1 of the bolts was in a hole in the frame.. others should know what im talking about.. anyways, I kinda cant picture in my head.. where you can drill these holes. like I said pictures would be great haha

 

I didnt redo mine since Im going to make a cutom bumper, but yes the side brace is in a cutout in the frame. I would assume you could replicate the hole its in higher up.

Cant help you with a picture. Im sure crazy or 318 will chime in soon. I know crazy made a push guard fit his bumper as well. He may have pictures for you.

 

My front bumper only has the center 2 brackets holding it on. I took off the outer brackets cause one of them was somehow ripped off by the PO and and I didn't feel like trying to raise the other side. All I did for the center 2 brackets is mark the holes 2 inches down and re-drilled them.

 

ok thanks for the help, il probly do that..
so just take the two side brackets off?
how stable is yours without it..

 

Its extremely stable. The only problem is if you ever get into a wreck, the bumper will fold up a lot easier at the 2 corners.

 

Yeah, the side braces are to stop the bumper from buckling at the frame on an outer corner impact. Well.....at least make it less easy i guess. If you dont plan on swapping bumpers just take it to a welder and have him lay a bead on top and bottom of the frame side of the brace. It could be ground of later if necessary, but would give you the bracing if you want it. Or just leave it off.

 

The sides were no problem for me. Just bent them to get the correct angle and it works great.

 

great info!, shouldnt be too hard.. I got another bumper going on.. so I can play around., thanks alot!
