1993 4runner brush guard help

ive looked everywhere on here to find an answer to my question but..... i am looking for a brush guard (not a whole new bumper) i want to keep the stock one. the only problem is i have a 3 inch body lift and if i were to install a brush guard, it would be 3 inches lower than what the body is at because it bolts to the frame; not the body.
anyways, do they make brackets for it to raise it up 3 inches, just like they do for the bumper when you put a body lift on? or are there any other options out there??

Take body lift off then put on brush guard and then install a suspension lift or you'll have to make your own brackets.

You will need to cut the brush guard and weld it 3 inches longer and no to your question.

If you were unable to figure this out on your own

You will most likely need someone to make your brackets without seeing the brush guard in question in may just be easier to modify the brush guard by adding the length needed to make it work.

Although with cosmetic work to match all the paint or powder coating it could get expensive.
