in those pics the pumper is sitting way too low. That top bar on the N-Fab should be sitting a 1/2in or so below the upper bumper. Not trying to knock you, cause I know how working in the COLD is no fun.... maybe you already fixed it.

just realized you have a 3in body lift too so thats the reason for the spacing issue. Maybe make some custom plates coming off your frame to lift it higher?

I do have a body lift so that is part of it. But, I meant to mention only one of the bolt holes lined up. So right now the top hole of the bumper is in the middle hole on the body where it should be on the top. I plan to drill the other holes when it's atleast 45 degrees outside lol. But that'll only raise it another 2".

Just some more with the lights on. The body lift does leave a gap but I think it still looks pretty good

Yeah that space isn't bad at all, barely noticeable when you have the meanest looking truck staring at you! Love it!

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to buy new wheels with a bigger offset because it rubs somewhere at almost full lock which makes things hard lol. It clears the body and bumper with plenty of space so I think it's rubbing on suspension. I don't want to run spacers with 40s. Sucks tho because I'll have to have them mounted again and buy new weight bags for them with were almost 50 bucks. And buy the wheels
