Default Body Lift

The body lift was already on my truck when I bought it so im not sure what size it is, im guessin 3. But there is a big gap between the body and the rear bumper and I cant find any brackets for it. Does anybody make brackets for my truck or will I have to get them custom made?

most body lifts come with them, but you could probally call some companies and order them seperate.

After you raise the bumper up you cannot use it to tow anything. Those brackets are weak. That is why alot of ppl leave them down, because they tow on the bumber.

I have a hitch so I would like to get the bumper raised up, but i cant find any brackets for it online. I guess I will go check at my local off road store.

I believe most ppl have to get the brackets custom made to relocate the bumper.

on the older f150s that I put body lifts in 1987-1996 you could take your brackets and turn them up side down and maybe switch sides and this would raise you about 2.5" but not sure on the 1997 and up ,I never looked at the set up but on the old f150s this was fast and cheap.......lol
