    Whats up guys. I have a 3" body lift on my truck and trying buy a front bumper. But I was wondering if I have to buy some kind of body lift bracket for the front bumper so it fits right. Is there a such thing as one?? If so please tell me. Or if I dont need one then tell me too:D

    Are you looking to buy an aftermarket plate or tube bumper? If so most of the makers can design them to accommodate a 3" bodylift.

    I think mine is connected to both the body and the frame because my 1" BL stretched the bumper.

    I see. Yeah, my bull bar takes the brunt of all the front end damage when wheeling.

    It's looks worse than this now, I mangled it up some more the day I destroyed my rear bumper.

    I looking in the bumper you have PSU Taco85. I have contacted Demello on this site and told me they have made brackets for trucks with 3" BL's. The only one I saw that even does this work is relentless fab.

    @ PSU Taco85. Bro thanks for that and I went to CBI offroad today and they do make front bumpers for trucks with 3" body lift. Thank you so much.
