New guy hoping I can get some help or info

Ok I'm not new to yotas just the site lol I've had a 97 extended cab taco with add a leafs and some spacers up front with cut fenders and 33s. I wheeled the heck out of that thing and I'm hooked. Now I've got a 90 extended cab pickup with 6" suspension 3"body lift and 35s. I'm having trouble finding some bumper brackets. If anyone even offers them? So my bumper lines up with my body looks horrible I think. Just want to know if I can order some or if I'm going to have to make some? Help and info is greatly appreciated

First off Welcome to YT..... secondly, I say just take the body lift out ....6" suspension and 35" should clear without much issue... Your just raising your COG with that Body lift... If you'd like to keep the lift fab some bumper mounts.... not that difficult

^^^X3. Did you install the BL? If so, what was the reasoning? I run a BL just to clear the 3.4 swap I did. Like Shakes said, 6 in of suspension should be plenty for 35's.

4Crawler sells brackets to match the bumper to the body lift.

he also sells other size b.l's, in case you want to drop the lift some but not completely. check his site out. lots of good info there.

Welcome to yota tech! I agree with the guys. Ditch the bl. I cleared 35s on my 86 with just 4"lift light fender trim in front.
