Hey there, im wondering if the trail gear rear bumper will fit my '92 pickup with a 3" body lift on it??? i have been wanting this bumper for a long time now but just wondering if i will have any trouble. Any help is appreciated

 

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!

 

its an extra $50 for a body lift adjustment I think..

 

thanks toyNG, well the marlin looks very similar to the trail gear. so if anyone has modified either bumper please explain how and possibly post pics.

 

Thanks yotaman, i think i can fab my own peice to make it fit. im also getting rock sliders sometime soon but im 99.9 percent sure i wont have a problem there. lol

 

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

 

i know that addicted offroad has bumpers made for body lifts but there just something i lik about the trail gear bumpers.

 

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.

 

hey scotty, im looking into a rear bumper so it shouldnt be a problem but dont you make a rear bumper thats meant for a body lift???

 

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

 

oh i gotcha, well how hard would it be to fab something up to make it fit nicely with my body lift?

 

I only do those in-house on the rig. Feel like coming to CO ???

 

haha sure!!! thats not alot of gas at all, but i might be ordering the back bumper from you or ?. i cant wait till i get money to buy one of your front bumpers!!! lol

 

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?

 

Yeah, it's tucked under there....

 

do you have pictures of the brackets?
