That's what I though. The way it is now I actually had to slightly bend my bumper to make the driver side pipe stop rattling on it... I haven't found any bumper brackets though, any ideas where to look? All I keep finding are brackets for the rangers and chebbys

what lifts have you been looking at? i bought one off summit and was the first one i looked at and the only thing it didn't include was rear bumper relocation brackets but it came with front ones. it took me about 10 hours to put on the body lift mostly cause the bolts were rusted to the bushings but thats when you just whip out the oxy/acetylene torch. i also made sure to unclamp my slave cylinder line and master cylinder line from the body before lifting the body up. nothing is really hard to do with a body lift.

this is wierd i thought u didnt have to modify much at all or disconnect much for a body lift. at least thats what the installation instructions say. do you guys find a lot of lines getting tight when you lift 3 inch?

i didn't have any problems... i was just being careful to not cause myself any more problems. it only takes a few minutes to undo and redo the lines. and if it saves you stretching or breaking something why not do it.

I left my rear bumper dropped and just filled the gap with diamond plate, only because I didn't want to redo my pipe's. I've also got a reese hitch, so that would probably look a little funny to lift the bumper..
