bumpers w/body lift?

Anyone running Marlin/TG/Allpro front bumper with a body lift? What did you have to do to get it to fit. I only have a 1in body lift, but I think it would still be noticeable.

Looking at their sites none of them offer options for BLs.

Not yet, but if you plan on using your bumper for winching. A reinforcment plate for your frame is VERY highly recomended. The frame is amazingly thin in the front area, and your bumper can bend and pull the mounts out.

The shop I had modify my bumpers recomended I add additional bracing if I plan on using it for winching/recovery.

What was the turn-around after you ordered...and shipping?...

I'm probably going to go with who ever has the quickest turn around.

I'm still on the fence about what company to go with.
You should call Scotty and ask him about his turn around time though.
