Body Lift: Question about front bumper

[EvilLex03]

I got my 2" body lift in, and it was kinda a pain in the ass, but I got it all in ! anyways, I used the brackets for the front bumper to lift it up 2 inches but it does not seam to be very tight. Im just wondering if anybody did something diffrent with it.. It would be nice to make it stronger so if I do hit something it will work ! I could weld it to the frame, but I did not realy want that in case I need to take it off some time. Any info would be nice.

 

Thanks !

Every story Ive heard reguarding body lifts and bumpers has had the effect of the bumpers becoming usless pieces of metal. Even more so than before.

can you fabricate a strong steel plate and weld it to the frame, then weld another piece to the bumber, drill two big holes in each, then get really strong bolts and bolt them together and if you want you can weld a piece parallel to the bumber inside the bumber if it calls for, it may make it stronger

the bumpers are totally worthless after you do a body lift unless you weld them to something, like you can read in the snazzy little body lift FAQ: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5325

The bumper was loose no matter how hard I tightened it, and the bolts worked themself loose to where on side actually fell half way off. I ended up just welding the mounts to the frame where then run next to it down in the fenderwell. Its pretty solid now.

I like how mine hangs down about an inch after the lift....ooooh and I can move it up and down too :cool2:

Mine's welded to the frame inside the wheelwells and has a couple of easily-made strap steel brackets in front holding it up. It's solid enough to stand on. If it ever needs to come off, I can cut it off.
