Pic request: body lifted Edges and 01+ 4x4's
The reason I want to see them is because I want to see how your front bumpers are positioned.
I don't understand what the deal is with the damn relocation brackets. On mine it puts my bumper WAY forward. But most of the pics I've seen of other trucks it's not that bad.
On FX4Wannabe01's truck it looks factory. On Toreadors truck it's slightly forward but still looks acceptable. But on mine it's like 2 1/2 inches off. WTF?? Did you guys bend your relocation brackets to make it sit correctly or something? Did Performance Accessories update the design of the brackets at some point?

here's basically how mine sits:
and here's a pic of how Shanes bumper sits (looks factory lol):
And here's Justins.
All 3 trucks have BL's, all three bumpers are in different spots. I don't get it. Are the brackets in the 2wd BL kit different than those for the 4wd kit? (the first pic is a 2wd truck)

sorry but all the bumpers look like they stop at the same location on the flare but yours just does not look as level as ours yours is pointing down so its giving you a optical illusion of being too forward..level it down a 1/2 inch and you should be good.
98 and up bumper brackets are the some

yours seams to be bent so that it angles up at the fender. Making it have the misaligned look it seems to have. if you pull the bumper back down at the corners it will look better. The brackets that come with the kit are very flimsy.
got a welder? or know someone who does, just weld the studs back on. I had a kit for someone elses ranger come with two right sides so I cut off and welded the studs on the otherside and its held for years

I got my new bumper relocation brackets in yesterday and installed em. And I pulled the bumper back down alittle and its lined up right with the body now (doesnt angle up at the end), but its still way forward and looks like s***. No solution in sight.
I'm such a ****ing moron for not just getting a spindle lift
