I believe they do not come with the kit. I would make my own If I were you. I had to do so much work to get my brackets to work for the Bumpers. So basically I made my own brackets.
Yes, but I didn't use the rear brackets..I moved the bumper up and forward, so that the bottom hole lined up with the top frame hole, then notched the bottom of the bracket so it would "rest" on the lower bolt..The lower bolt still "catches" enough of the bumper to keep it tight...
yes I plan on putting the Body lift on for a few reasons. I plan on doing a 5.0 swap in the next year or so. After buying parts during that time. I will need it to clear the 5.0 and the atlas II.
Dont waste your time with a PA kit bracket just order the kit from tuff country and you will get all the right parts and they will fit or fab a custom bumper and avoid all the trouble, Mind you i spent $15 bucks more and got a 3" kit, I think i decided on it when i the guy said 1 more inch for $15 bucks or $200 for shackels and spacers ya cant beat that , SOLD.........Then there is the issue of that steering binding but i needed a new shaft anyway.
