Yet Another Push bar question

Hey guys im on here off and on looking at pictures, taking notes on how to fix things. But im looking for a decent priced push bar. (no bull bar) I know summit has them for about 500, but as a member told me, thats a little much considering it doesn't even hook up to frame. But if you could show me something on ebay or other websites, that would be great!
And maybe some pictures would be great, just the center peice!
Then comes the next question, im going to be getting a PA body lift, would it still be possible to do both?
So if you could be of some service to me, i would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,

Greg

If you do the body lift you can keep the pushbar but it won't line up with the bumper unless you have someone custom fabricate longer brackets. The body lift should come with a bracket to raise the bumper but in my opinion its no where near strong enough for the pushbar to be mounted too and used on.

So your looking for a brushguard that is just the center section and doesn't cover the headlights? If so check jcwhitney. They run about $100

Yea, or a couple companies make a "modular" one that you can just get the center section too. Definitely check jcwhitney, ebay, and craigslist you'll be able to find a cheap frame mounted one in one of those places.

Also, depending on the type of brackets that are used to hold the push bar to the frame (if you get one that hooks to the frame.. I agree with the above comment that the BL bumper brackets aren't strong enough for holding a push bar) sometimes the brackets can be modified by just flipping the brackets and redrilling them so they work with a BL. That's what I did to fit the brushguard on my truck.
