try contacting Performance accessories, or Rough country and ask for installation instructions for a BL for your year truck. might have to figure out what kit the truck is suppose to have and then ask for those. and basically follow them in reverse.

Your are going to need to find the right length bolts again, the rubber spacers for under the cab and the shift linkage will need to be cut and rewelded back to stock. Thats just the begining, fuel filler neck, rad support things like that will also have to be dealt with.

was gonna say if you were closer to me i'd trade you my stock bolts for your lift XD

remember tho, if the front bumper was raised, the frame was cut to make way for the new brackets. so unless you want to reweld a new 3" section of frame on, and drill the holes for the bolts. you're not going ot have a bumper.

^^^ What kit does that for the front bumper? Not saying it's not done but I would to know so I don't recommend it.

PA kits there is no cutting to fit the bumper brackets.

C/P

Front bumper (main brackets) Remove the front
bumper main brackets from the bumper. (It is necessary
to gently pull the plastic cover back to allow the bolt to
move enough for the bracket to come off the bolts.)
Install the kit brackets (main) on the bumper. DO NOT
tighten the nuts at this time. Trim about 1/4"-1/2" off the
front frame horns to allow for clearance of the bumper
valance in the new raised position. Install the bumper on
the frame. DO NOT tighten at this time.

Front bumper (outer braces) Install the kit brackets
(outer support) on the frame with the stock fasteners. DO
NOT tighten at this time. Install the stock outer support
braces on the kit brackets with kit bolts (7/16" x 1 1/2"),
kit washers (7/16" USS), and kit nuts (7/16" nylock). DO
NOT tighten at this time.

Front bumper (completion) Adjust the bumper to body
clearance. Tighten all bumper fasteners. Connect the
horn wires to the horns. On the driver side, install two
ground wires on the stock outer support brace. Connect
the wiring harness for the driving lights (if equipped).

can't remember, was doing some late night youtube adventures, and came across a body lift where the installer had to cut the frame, and cut some stuff out of the front bumper on the inside. weird.
