So im here in the garage now trying to put the stock bumper back on the B2, and im trying to figure out making my own brackets to make up for the body lift gap. If anybody has any pics of their brackets or ones you made it would be great. thanks.

simple, use bottom hole for stock bumper in top hole on the frame, tighten like there is no tomorrow, mines been like that since the body lift got on the truck, lifts it the perfect height and slides it away from the tires some

do what i did.
weld a thick plate on top of the bumper horns and make new holes.
if u have a 3" body lift a 2 3/4 tall plate would do.

u might get the idea with this pic.
