Bambi lost and so did I!!!!!

So i got into a little fight with bambi's dad the other day and i did a little bit of damage to the front of the old dodge. Now im getting enough money from insurance to replace the bumper with a fab fours. But im running into the issue of my body lift. Has anyone modified the bumpers to fit. Even if its a different make, post some pics just so i can have an idea.

Thanks

P.S. It did about 5500 dollars damage but the biggest was the bumper

fab fours makes a bumper for body lifted trucks. that way you can run a winch and still have the stoutness rather than using the plates that come with the bodylift.

OMG that is the best i have ever seen. But no it was more like i hit him doing 75 mph and since i have a 6" suspension and 3" body he went right under the truck but he took out the bumper. It was a 8 point buck that weighted about 150-200 lbs. He was a fair size bambi!!!!

I called them and they had nothing for me. He told me that i had to cut and modify the brackets to make it work. Its not a big deal as i have access to a plasma cutter and a welder. And my buddys dad is a licenced welder and said he would do it, but id just like to see if anyone else has hacked a 3k bumper apart and what it looked like after.

Ya but the only problem is im in canada and i get free shipping the bumper from a company up here. And i will have it tommorow instead of 2-6 weeks. Im just in need of a bumper soon as i have almost hit a few more deer as i work in a area were there are more deer than there are people who hunt them
