Consider that proposition carefully. I think these bumpers would need a pretty major fab job to adjust them for a BL after the fact. With the OEM bumper you have a bumper to a bracket to the frame. That gives you some options for adjustment, i.e. little plates to move the brackets up thereby moving the bumper up. These aftermarket bumpers however, are designed to mount directly to the frame and also act as a recovery point. Yank on an OEM bump to unstuck yourself and you will just tear it off. We're talking apples and oranges here. The fact that you would need no additional fab work could easily offset the cost of shipping for Addicted's bumper. Besides IIRC my Marlin was only $27 or so from CA to AZ. Certainly worth a look see.
