It'll bolt up, but will hang lower than you'd want it to. I'm in the same boat as you, I have a 2" BL. I know people have modified the Marlin rear bumper to look better with a body lift, but I haven't read of anyone doing it with the Trail Gear. If you do, be sure to post pics!

where did you hear this from? I've never heard of this. I spoke with them over the phone a few months ago, but maybe things have changed since then

Check your local laws to see if there is anything against running a tube directly in front of the headlights. I know Virginia has fairly thorough inspections, so it would be good to make sure you are legal.

I am a TG dealer and can't sell them in CO due to laws about blocking the headlights.

Not for the rear. I only sell the TG rears. For the price, its worthless for me to try to compete with them.

ok just looked on wabfabs site and it says not intended for use with body lifts. so should i still buy it and try to make a bracket? 300 bucks is alot of money and i dont want to waste it on something that wont fit. lol

I built my own. The brackets for the BL are actually simpler to make than the brackets for non BL trucks/4Runners. You could use the tube portion of the TG bumper, and make some new brackets for the BL, if you have the fab skills.

NICE....this is essentially the bumper I want on my 2nd gen Runner. Do you have the hitch receiver in it as well?
