Give us your input. We are going to look into the possibility of offering front and rear bumpers for body lift applications.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #1 on:** Nov 07, 2008, 03:46:37 PM »

maybe im wrong, but it seems like most people that run BL's run a 3".

so it would seem like the common item to produce a bumper for...?

i would say go with a 2 inch bl bumper, this way if the customer has a 2 inch body lift it will work, AND if they have a 3 inch body lift it will still look good with only a 1 inch gap

whatcha thinkin for tube doors

I'm with Glen on this.

If you get properly built bumpers you won't be able to show off the crappy body lift.

2" is the biggest I'll run.

i agree wit hglen, lots of people run 3" and htey are fine, but lots of peopel are also paranoid and wont go bigger than 2" so unless they are adjustable, i would say make them for a 2" lift... suit both markets..... for the guys with a 1", they are fine using the stock bumper height

Im interested in a 3" BL rear bumper.

solar86yota · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 08, 2008, 04:48:53 PM »

I would be very interested in a 2 inch body lift front bumper, and some sort of bracketry or conversion kit for people who already have stock height Marlin bumper, but would like to run a body lift. I would buy something like that in a heartbeat. One of the reasons I don't run a body lift is because I want to keep my Marlin Rear bumper on. For us IFS kids who don't have the money to sas, any clearance we can get for bigger tires is always welcome!

2inch for sure!

Richmondo · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 29, 2008, 10:02:21 PM »

I voted for 1" but that's just me being OCD, and the gap on my bumper bugging the

out of me. 2" is probably the way to go...

89runner · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 11, 2009, 11:00:19 PM »

i vote 2'' cause its the most universal

BigMike · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 13, 2009, 04:22:18 PM »

My truck has a 1" body lift and I have a custom front 1" body lift

bumper and it's awesome

Toyota1994 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 13, 2009, 05:56:20 PM »

2" for sure!

kiyul4130 · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 09, 2009, 10:54:02 PM »

i already have bumpers and all that that i made but ya, id say 2". i have a 2" BL and i think it would be more universal like posted above.

toyNG · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 26, 2009, 11:35:31 PM »

another vote for a 2". Seems like this will accommodate the most people.

Doc Hollywood · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 02, 2009, 09:31:33 AM »

I would say 2" for my rig

Toyota1994 · « **Reply #18 on:** Aug 16, 2009, 10:06:47 AM »

Any news if this is if ever going to happen?

printthis · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 02, 2009, 05:42:02 PM »

how about if the had mounting hardware that bolts to the frame and then mounts to the bumper and make it adjustable 1 to 3 inches

solar86yota · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 14, 2009, 10:01:54 PM »

I hope they come out with these bumpers soon. I've been wanting to get a 2" body lift for a looong time now. I just don't want to have to take off my cool Marlin Rear Bumper to do the lift :rivers:javascript:void(0);

86rustbucket · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 15, 2009, 02:10:48 AM »

just do a 1inch lift bumper, it would still look fine with a 2 inch body lift and people that use a 3 inch body lift buy smittybilt bumprs anyway
and what about the possibility of getting twin stick shifters back in stock?

tryn2Crawl · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 15, 2009, 12:04:12 PM »

My buddy has a TG front for a 89-95 truck on his 85 with a 3inch body lift and it lines up....Maybe a 89-96 marlin bumper will too.For a 2nd gen that is..

BHT12 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 17, 2010, 04:16:39 PM »

I would say two for sure.. theres no point in a 1 inch and there mostly 2 and 3 so if you have a 3... deal with the 1 inch gap because 3's look dumb anways with all the frame you can see on the sides!

Dapper Dan · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 10, 2010, 07:35:53 PM »

Sounds like a no brainer

Anything happening with this topic? I'd be interested in a bumper (w/stinger) for a 2" body lift
