I should be getting a new sport bumper in a few weeks and will be making my own brackets, and would like to see where there positioned and how close I will be able to tuck it to the body

I used an older one on my 85, I just like them better. I tucked it a little tighter than the frame holes put it originally. I like it better closer, and could probably go a little closer yet.

The sport bumpers are the ones off a suburban or blazer right?

No problems opening your tail gate ?& did you use both inner & outer brackets or just one like some of the members have.

Sorry, wrong choice of wording I guess. :D I moved the holes forward, not up. So there would be no interference with the tailgate in any way.
