Off Road Bumper for Tacoma 3 inch body lift
I have a 1996 Tacoma, it has a 3 inch block lift, i've looked online quite a bit but i cannot find a offroad bumper that can fit with the lift. It does not need to be perfectly flush but i dont want a 3 inch gap between the top of the bumper and the grille. Anyone have any place they have bought theirs before? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

if u like a bumper u could get it and take it to a fab guy and have them add a little more metal to it to take over that 3in gap. or u can also find a fab guy to just build one u like. or how u like it

as said above, you're likely going to have either make brakets, or cut and weld the existing brackets to fit. not a very difficult job if you've got a welder, or know someone that does!

Like it was said your going to fabricate something .
Now is this bumper for a Mall Crawler??
If it is modifying the brackets should be just fine.
Now if you plan to add a winch and do some serious recovery work.
You will want to design and build this all with that idea in mind
With so many different heights it would be all most impossible to build a bumper that would fit on anything more then a one at a time basis

I know that addicted off road can make bumpers to accommodate winches. I will likely be getting one of theirs as I have a 1.5in body lift and don't want a gap either.

Thanks guys, I actually just went to the Addicted Off Road site, found a bumper I liked and it had an option for the 3 inch lift. Thanks Jskijoe, must have just overlooked this in my previous research. Yeah wyoming9 my truck is 3 inch body and currently in my garage getting a 3 inch suspension as well. I'm planning 35's, skid plates, regear if i have to. Just simple stuff, nothing too crazy.
