I'm thinking the same thing. I don't see why they would change the way the bumpers mounted to the frame, but why does GM do a lot of things they do?

Those brackets are the same ones that I posted up earlier in this thread. They are made by zone offroad, and they have instructions on install at zoneoffroad.com

Yes I agree pictures!!! I reallyyyyy want to get my bumper brackets ordered up. When you raised your bumpers did you have to do any cutting of the frame? All the talk about cutting frames earlier kind of confused me...

yes you do need to cut the end of the frame off and modify the outer brackets.... i will get those pictures up

these are the only pictures i took. was in a rush to finish so didnt realy do a step by step process. need to get another ith the hitch off and hook and i painted sway bar cuz i got bored but it works better as a mud/ grass catcher off road

i did come across a thread last night where someone claimed you could use the 4 door bumper bracket on the 2-door BUT you had to mount the bracket one hole higher than originally intended. (didn't save the link)

may be something to look into, but thats the only thing i really came across, didn't include any pictures.
