Gotta get the brackets. Most of the better kits will come with 'em for the front. I haven't seen too many come with 'em for the rear....... I think most folks don't really do much with the rear....

Welcome to DF.

These guys sell complete kits, might give 'em a call, and see if they will sell you just the brackets.

Summit has the rears for about 50 bucks...... Didn't see fronts, but, wouldnt be surprised if they had those as well. (made by the guys the link is to...)

As HeyYou said give a call to the kit maker. I'm assuming its also PA. They may direct you to order from a store though, like 4 wheel parts or w/e vendor in your area. I just did for a bracket on my kit, for the transmission.

Same thing for the bumper brackets. Rear brackets are not absolutely necessary. The PA instructions provide a means to raise the bumper w/o the brackets. It's an option to actually use their separate brackets.
