Moving Bumpers up after 3" body lift?

[Big89Burban]

what did you guys do? I have access to a torch, welder, plasma table.. whatever you can think of. I just did the body lift last night and didnt have time to look at the bumper brackets. Do the stock brackets have enough material to make new holes and line the bumpers up again? Should I just have new brackets made out of plate? Whats the best way?

Thanks.

I didn't move my front bumper up, but I did move my rear one up. All I did was unbolt the brackets from the frame, and put them in a set of holes that already existed, about 2.5 inches up. I had to drill a pair of hole in the frame for it, but that's about all I needed to do. Took me about 30 minutes.

Easiest thing to do to make it look right would be to make yourself some new bumper brackets.

another idea for ya....

Get some roll pans, notch them for the frame and wallah....
Rear was a little trickier, don't have a good pic of it right now, had to notch for the frame rails, and make indentions for the tailgate hinges...

Make sure you make some really beefy ones if you have a hitch and ever plan on towing or putting a strap on there!

I think I'll just check it out and have some made out of 3/8's plate. I dont wanna fill the gap. I wanna make it look like its not body lifted.

on the front, i was gonna cut the front few inches off of the frame, weld a piece of plate over it, then weld the front section of frame back on 3" higher

do your self 1 big favor. dont f with the frame rails. if you ever want to go back it will be harder to do it. and never as strong as a factory section of frame. and it looks crappy . do up some brackets .
