You can raise it 3". Just need to drill the frame. Reposition/measure the lower bolt hole in the bumper bracket. Bolt it in place and drill another while it's in place. Two will hold, unless you plan on putting a ball and towing from it.

Hey RAD, I see you didn't relocate the spare tire screw/crank.

Good spot for the back up lights. My hitch was hidden except for the dropped reciever before the lift. After the body lift it looks like a factory one so my lights had to go under. Picked mine up at Autozone for around $20. They come with an L bracket that clamps around the hitch.

Well, I bought the rear bumper relocation kit/brackets from PA. Do I still need to drill into the frame if I have this kit? I dont have the instructions with me here at work, so I cant remember what they said.

Well, I already have it, so I might as well use it. It doesn't look too solid of a piece though. I'll figure it out.

I glad I read this post, I just drilled my frame out today after work. My bumper is bent anyway so there was no way I was paying for the brackets. But the gap did annoy me and the drill fixed it. Gotta love doing it for free.

Filling the gap with lights is a nice idea, that would help me out at the job sights alot. I guess thats next on the list.

Take it easy guys
