    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently in the market for a rear bumper for my body lifted truck. Could anyone with a common aftermarket bumper (Pelfreybilt, Mob Town, Bruteforce, etc.) tell me what they mount to exactly? Pictures would be much appreciated. I'm trying to figure out if they could be re-worked to mount to my truck.


    Thanks,
    TK

    To answer your question they all pretty much mount to the frame. So the would be a noticable gap between the bumper and body unless you got one custom made to account for the body lift

    Yep, that's the route I went for the front bumper. I'm just wondering which vendor can do this for my rear bumper, since the fabricator who made my front one is no longer taking projects.

    you would need to start asking the bumper builders, as i am sure some would do it for a little extra charge.
