Mine had brackets that bolted to the frame that had a bracket sticking straight out toward the front of the truck then the brush guard bolted to them, if that makes any sense. I just took a 5x7 piece of 1/4 steel and drilled the frame bracket holes in the bottom then drilled the holes for the brush guard in the top.
Hope that helps you understand it somewhat either way I'll get you some pics up tomorrow.

no, because the grille guard attaches to the bottom of the frame. The bottom of your bumper is going to get 3" closer to the bottom of your frame.
Its hard to explain.
Everything above the frame is going to get 3" father away from the frame, every thing under the frame is going to get 3" closer to the frame.

Okay, to ease up any ocncerns:
When you do a bodylift.. everythign sits up HIGHER 3" off of the body then normal.
The bracketry for any brush guard is set to mount form yoru bumper, drop it down to right below the bumper, and then wrap around the front end.. if you raise your body 3 inches, that means you need to raise the bracket 3 inches as well.. which, in the case of a bumepr guard, you raise it by cutting out 3 inches of the bracket and re-welding it... which will make it mount higher then normal.
