I'm on my phone so I can't post a pic but it doesn't loon out of place and there are a few different bullbars that mount in different locations. You might have to make new brackets for it

Default body lift questions?

i got a 2003 ram 1500 and i just ordered my body lift, i have 2 questions about it. 1 i have a bull bar on the front right now, will that still be able to go on or will i have to hack up the bumper? 2 in the back i have a hitch, will it look way out of place if i lift it 3"? if you have a pic of the back with a hitch and a body lift would you post it so i could see? thank you

Anything attached to the frame would be 3" lower after a body lift. Hitch for sure and most bull bars will be lower...

I don't know about the pa body lift bumper brackets but the Zone kit had stock positioned holes in the brackets so it would fit fine

Umm the only problems I had was the steering extension. It was seized up. I put a 1" socket on a 2ft breaker bar and put the rack side of the shaft in the socket and hit the end of the breaker bar towards the steering wheel w a bfh

The directions generally cover everything, we can help with anything else
