I installed my performance accessories 3" body lift kit this week. Now I need to make new bumper brackets to heighten them 3 inches as well. I cannot seem to find any pictures of how others designed theirs. Do you guys have any tips?

Also here is a picture of it with the lift on. It's a 2wd but you'd never know!

Don't know about the brackets but I think it looks real good. I have a 2 wheel drive with a body lift. But it's a second gen

Thanks. I am hoping to get some brackets figured out soon. You can see in that picture where the 3 inch gap is above the bumper and it's pretty ugly

Yah ya would once you notice the IFS. :crazy:

As for the brackets, I have no clue, I don't think anyone makes em anymore so you're probably going to have to get some made.

i don't think anyone has ever really made 3" bumper lift brackets. you would have to fab up your own brackets

I saw on one of these forums where a guy in your situation left the bumper where it is and got some plastic lawn edging from lowes and used it to fill up the gap and it looked great. It comes in a roll and he cut it to length and then used screws to attach it to the metal below the tailgate.
