Anyone running a brush guard with a body lift? How does it mount? Any pics?

Well here is a pic of bigED's. He has a 3" body lift, along with a 4" suspension lift. At first when he had the Manik, the guys that installed the body lift just welded it back to the frame, which made Ed very angry because he told them to make brackets, and they said they would but didn't. So after this, I cut the grill guard off for him and he decided to go with Ranch Hand front end replacement. The people that installed it did a very good job of making very tough brackets, and even filled in the holes of the frame. You can have three people standing on the bumper and it won't even budge. I don't have any pics of the brackets, but I'm gonna see Ed tonight so I will try and get some pics of the bracket. But until then, here is some pics of the grill guard, the Manik and then the Ranch Hand. I think getting custom made brackets is the only way to go.
