TJM and 2" body lift

Hey everyone, I have a 2000 4Runner with a 2" RB body lift and I am considering a TJM front bumper but I have read that there is not a good way to raise the new bumper to limit the gap. Is this true? Some of you must have this bumper with at least a 2" lift. Looking for some advice and hopefully a write up or pictures before I put down the money. Thanks ahead of time,

Rob

There will be a gap due to the body lift. I found a 4x4 shop that cut and rewelded the mounting brackets so the bumper fit flush with the grill for $100
Hope this helps.

Steve does not build new brackets but will rebuild your existing ones to compensate for the BL.
