I think the made bumper relocation brackets or you can get some fabbed up to move the bumper up.

You can get a 6inch body lift if you getanother frame and stack It on top of yours, it closes the gaps and you can move everything up, thats what I wanna do with mine

One of my buddies did it a long time ago, it is safe, I mean you have to secure it, I'm not exactly sure how he did it cuz i never thought to ask, but if you secure it right it will be just as safe as a body lift

That is just stupid, lol two frames! Wtf? Imagine all the extra weight, and how would all that work up front with the engine and suspension stuff?
And that has nothing to do with the guys bumper after lift question either, lol.

lol.

U think if ur gonna do a lift, the 3" round block spacers would be a million times easier to put in rather then trying to slide in a whole frame.
U would really have to remove the cab and the bed to stack the second frame on and weld/bolt it to the 1st one. Then put the cab/bed back on.

I would love to see a pic of this truck with two frames stacked for a lift, lol.
