regarding cow bumper and body lift
 

hi, i am looking in the near future to install a body lift but i am wouried that latter on i want a cow pusher(tube brush guard) with a winch on it woun't work with the body lift. or no? or is there some mods involed. yes i can't spell. :wink:

they don't make really that many brushguards for our truck that have winch capabilites.....but in any case special fabrication can be done to allow the brushgaurd to fit..

im pretty sure most brush guards bolt on below the bumper so raising the body wont do anything and you should even do fine if you decide to put the bumper brackets on.

the bumper brackets are weak that come with the body lift!
I wouldnt rec.!

^^^yea, which is one reason i dont have one cuz i couldnt deal with the bumper gaps. just giving the kid an answer to his question.

if you move up the bumpers there will be a space of three inches between the bumper and the brushguard....if you have a brushguard that has bolts for the bumper along with the frame then it will not work right.....special brackets can be made to move the brushguard back to the current location

the bumper you want will bolt to the frame. to make it strong enough to winch with, you will have to fab one to work with the body lift

Yeah, to my knowledge, no one makes a brushguard for our trucks that has winch capabilities. You can run a front reciever which mounts to the frame and put a winch on that, but if you body lift, you will have to cut a hole in the valance.
