Raise bumper 2"
I need to raise my 72 front bumper 2". Has anyone done this? Does someone sell a kit?

This may sound dumb, but why? Did you lower the suspension and the truck now no longer meets a safety inspection criteria?
I have not seen a kit that would do that. I would think, especially with a stock bumper it may also have a matching up problem with the fenders if you lift it above the stock position. Everything is possible with a welder, but not sure how safe it would be or if it would pass a safety inspection with a modified bumber, but I am no longer familiar with the current Ohio laws.

he probably put a 2" body lift on the truck and now the bumper sits too low...check with skyjacker...i think they carry it. they have body lift kits that have them included on summit...so maybe they have just that?

Ok Now that makes sense. Didn't think 4WD from your signature. I'll go back in my corner now and be a quiet old guy
