didnt know where else this would go so i dumped it here.
is it possible to put a body lift on with the non body lift mdb bumpers?
does it just create a gap?
thanks in advanced.

Or, you could just ask me...
There will either be a gap at the top, or you can use the body lift kit offsets and have a gap at the bottom, and no strength to pull on it with anything.

Mike said it, functionally a big ole gap at the top is what you would use. It would make the most sense to get one of the kits and put it together yourself though.

Some of the old Tecore pics have the first prototype bumper which was about the height of the non-body lift and I had a body lift. Had a gap and I used some lights to fill it in before MDB got the new style bumpers going.
they've always worked for me.

I've always considered doing a body lift on mine and the getting an LT or SS grille to fill in part of the gap... Then add some sheet metal under the headlights to finish it off... Theoretically, it should work...
What's been holding me back from doing a BL now are the sliders...

I got a whole new grille and chrome bar from Amazon for about $60 shipped.
The emblem was not included.
this is the one I got

The grill part is actually like a graphite/gray color, not black. It worked for me.

I can't part with mine. Its hand airbrushed skulls and has spikes... The rest of the grill may get some paint other than black or white to break it up though. Maybe go back to the gutter guard mesh like I had yers ago.
