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)

 

best shot i got

your just looks like yours needs to be relined

 

I wish I could get mine like that. Ive spent hours trying to get it aligned. Maybe I just need new PA brackets?

 

this is how mine sits..




haha sorry im no help! im at least body lifted though lol

 

from your picture it looks like your bumper is too tight to the body ...
if you drop if down a 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch than it would be like mine and Justin's
Shane's photo wont help do to no flares

 

I'll show you how mine sits after I get my body lift on. I got the performance accessories kit.

 

i didnt have to bend my brackets but i have heard of that needing to happen so you may need to go with that

 

I know shanes has no flares but you can still tell his bumper is where it should be. I noticed PA has a different part number for the 01-06 kit than the 98-00 kit. I wonder if the brackets are different

 

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

 

Ok maybe youre right about shanes truk. But I tried bending one of my brackets yesterday and it did make the bumper come in more on that side. But now it just looks like all the other trucks. I had to mod the bracket just to get my bumper to sit where your guys's bumpers already sit.

Then I went and dun broke the studs off my other bracket so now I'm bumperless until I get a new right side bracket haha

 

there was a guy on here who was selling beefed up bumper brackets a wile back but its been a wile and i no longer have the link to the thread .. if i find it ill let ya know

 

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

 

I would have loved to have a suspension lift instead of body but its been a tight year lol

any pics ofter the relocation?

 

Just a thought and I have no clue if it would even be an issue, but you have an xl style top bumper. That might have something to do with it. Maybe the holes for the bolts are in a different spot?

 

Nope the bumper is off an 01 Edge. I have the stock bumper brackets from that Edge sitting here too so I'm gonna swap em in and see what happens. Even if its a shot in the dark

 

No side shots.....ill get some later

 

looks closer than mine

 

well I looked at mine it sits the same way lol. Great now I gotta screw with my bumper or i guess get a new one thats as good of as an excuse as any

 

well after closer examination.....mine sits forward as well. Dammit now its going to bug the hell out of me!

 

Sorry cell pics but you get the point. Wow this really makes my truck look squated lol

 

Lol me too I might have to try to figure something out but I never really noticed it before but mine sat forward a bit stock as well

 

not near as bad though

 

they all seam to be about the same but i never noticed it till now lol
