Go to the Photo Galleries and do a search by user:

Check out these galleries:

budlight
04 BLK 4X4 W/2"AS 35" BFGs
05 STX 4X4
Hawkeye68

These are several folks that have body lifts on 04+ body styles. Several differrent ideas of what can be done with the tow hooks and hitch.

i had custom brackets made for my rear tow hitch. this way it isnt dropped 3"s lower than the bumper. Looks soooo much cleaner this way.

Nooq,

Any chance you could add some closeups of the custom brackets to your gallery? Also, how much did it end up costing for the brackets?

My truck is in the shop now getting a 3" PA put on.

Thanks

ill have to upload some when i get home. my gallery doesnt work, so email me your email adress and ill send some pics over, inooqz@hotmail.com

as for the price it costed me 140$ at the local muffler/tow hitch shop. a muffler shop or place that specializes in welding/tow hitches should be able to take care of it no problem. all they did was cut the oem hitch brackets, welded in some brackets and i was good. looks 100% better than seeing the gap between the bumper and tow/hitch.

Nooq,

What is your front bumper clearance. I have an identical setup to yours, with the exception of the suspension lift, which I want to add. The Maryland bumper law is only 28", surely you bust that right? Also, did you get your BL or SL first? Can I keep my 2.5" AS kit with a suspension lift?
