    I bought the ToyTec 2" body lift a while back and love it. But hate the gap on the rear end and the massive stretch being done to the front bumper. I thought I would have enough time on my hands to build my own bumpers. But lost my job and time to manufacture them.

    Does anyone know of a mounting kit to raise the stock front and rear bumpers? (specifically the front. As I found a rear one, but would like to buy both)

    Cheers!

    I think that you can find a relocation bracket for a 2" BL. https://youtu.be/rE-XjJ_A0n0

    Just to follow up...
    I messaged Performance Accessories via Facebook on Saturday. They messaged me back same day asking to call and ask for Wayne on monday.
    These guys are awesome. They totally worked with me. They don't sell specific kits (for just bumpers) rather for the whole setup. He called me back about 15 minutes later saying he found me a set in the warehouse that he packeged up and sold to me over the phone. I'll let you all know how the install goes!
    @sblspawn Thanks bud! I've been looking at my stretched eyesore of a bumper for over a year! LOL

    That's awesome, bro! I'm glad that you could find a solution to your problem! I will love to see a photo of your truck after the bumper relocation! :thumbsup:

    I just got the brackets and got it all installed. It only took a couple hours. I had to stop for a few minutes to untie my kid who miraculously got himself stuck to the basketball goal. I had to buy some new grill clips because the others were so old and frail half of them were useless.

    But the ugly streched out gap on the top and bottom of the bumper is gone!

    Oh shit, man! That was funny! LOL KIDS! :D Finally you did it! Is there any way to fix that small gap close to the fenders? I mean! It looks good now, but it could be perfect if that thin gap disappeared completely. So, how many inches of lift you have now?

    Thanks! I think it is just due to the length of time it was stretching out and am hoping that the summer heat will bring it all back in place.
    It's a total of 6"
    4" suspension lift
    2" body lift
    I added 3/4" wheel spacers to give it a better wheel base & 33" BFG ATs for the snow and mud :)

    Did you tried with a heat gun?
    I bought a 1 inch BL some time ago, but I never install it because I was afraid that my tires were to look small on the truck. So, I don't know what to do right now! I can't change the tires because they are barely new. :( Do you have any lateral photo of your truck?

    Nice ride!
    It probably took me about 5 hours to install. If you have a buddy, it'll go even faster. I'd say go for the install. I doubt you would notice it at all. It definitely won't make your tires look smaller.
    I'm leary of using a heat gun because I've screwed up too many things with it. lol

    This is 6 inches of lift on 33’s? I ordered a 2” bl to add to my 3 inch suspension to clear some 33s but hmm... maybe I should have gone 3” bl instead? My trucks a regular cab tho so a little lighter.

    The lift compresses the two front shocks so my pickup might sit a little taller than a 4 door
