I want to put a 3" body lift on my stx, but i also want frame mounted brush guards, will this be a problem. If you have a picture of this please post it . Thanks

 

Are you talking about grill guard or skid plates.......Grill guard you will have to extend your brackets to line it up right...correct me if I am wrong anybody....Dave

Here try this out. There's two F150 owners that I know of that have done the 3" lift and grille guard. Both I believe welded it to the frame.

I have a 3" body lift and a grill guard and its not welded on. I took the brackets for the grill guard, turned them upside down and bolted them on. It turned out that I was lucky enough that it was the perfect fit and my grill guard sat level. Its easier to see in person than to try to picture what I'm talking about!
