Get you a set of like 36 tsl's and find a buddy with a plasma cutter and letter eat ...

i actually did this to my 93 f250... and i had to cut the bumper alot.... and some inner fender well....i just took alot of time and laying out how i wanted to cut the bumper... and when i was done i like how the bumper looked better...... but that truck is a total different animal then these trucks....

the daystar polyurethane bushing are so think and are supposed to give you a 2'' lift without having to extend anything... and usually kits are only $180

I wanted a few more inches after my Rancho Quicklift but have a 2WD as well. I went with a PA 3" Body Lift and its EXACTLY the difference I was longing for. I too don't like the gaps, but my "guards" are on the way. The exhausts will be relocated as soon as its warm enough to lay on the ground. And the step bars are mounted to the cab, so when it goes up, so does the steps, so why are you trying to relocate them? Want them lower, just add drop brackets to your OEM brackets and there ya go. Hope this helps!
