What was the giveaway? I couldn't see any signs of the body lift, I might just be over looking it though.

Look how far down the front tow hook sits compared to the valance.

Its a 2" body lift. And I just used some 1/8" steel plate and drilled holes 2" up and it came out pretty decent. I want to build a cover for the thing to beef it up some and cover up the relocation plates.

Edit: sorry that description was very vague.
The original frame mounts stayed in the same place. They have bolts that are placed horizontal through the mounting bracket and the vertical plate of the grille guard. I cut a piece of 1/8" steel and rounded off the corners to fit the contour a little better and drilled 4 holes in each piece. They were placed vertical on the inside of the guard and the outside of the bracket. Holes were moved up 2inches and I used grade 8 hardware to hold it all together.
