Bumper Brackets

[kstavinoha]

I searched on this site and found the drawings for bumper brackets and had some made out of 1/4" plate. I will be putting the 3"BL on next week. Will the one shaped like a U need to be bent a certain way? I am trying to get ahead and have everything ready. Also what shocks did you all go with after your 3"BL? Thanks for the info. I have a 99 Sport 4WD.

If you are talking about the ones I designed then yes you will either need to bend the brackets since the frame horns are offset by about an inch or do like I did and make up the difference with some thick washers. Here is my front bumper bracket:

Thanks for the info. Will they need to be bent from outside in on both sides with the higher two holes being in with about 1" of off set.
