Installing OEM tow hooks with 2" body lift

[808ram1500]

So I have a 2" body lift on my 2011 ram 1500 4x4 QC. Did a lot of research on this and most said it isn't possible. Wanted to maybe she some light on this. I think it is possible, though I'll have to modify and cut the bumper support and the bumper. As you can see in the pics the 2 mounting bolts are now below the bumper support due to the body being raised 2". That being said, lo9ks like I'll have to cut the chrome bumper as the hooks itself will now being protruding from that and not the normal plastic panel it was suppose to.
I'll probably get around doing this in the next couple of weeks.

Lots of people might cringe at cutting the bumper, esp a Chrome one

I'd be worried about damaging the structural strength of the bumper....

No part of the bumper will be trimmed that'll affect any of the structural integrity.

Yeah, most would, but it's the only way if I'm using OEM hooks. Someone should do a hook to compensate for 1"-3" body lifts. The bend doesn't need to be as critical as to oppose the stock height.

So who sells a 2” body lift?

I have no idea. The previous owner claimed it had a 2" body and leveling kit. The pucks used seems to be close to 2" though.

Damn all I can find is 1.25, 1.5, and 3.

Would love a 2”

Can't a universal 2"body be used. Or maybe one from the previous gen Ram? I don't think the bumpers got relocated on mine, or steering extended.
