the outer bumper brackets will work, but the inner brackets won't...many people on this forum have the burb bumper, also known as a sport bumper, with just the outer brackets...

Hey Low86, do you have any drawing or pictures of how you made your own brackets? I'd like to get some, but if I could save a buck that would be good.

took some old bed rails and some scrape pieces of metal i had left over form other projects and bent them where i needed them and welded them to a plate that i mounted to the bumper and i got to set it as close to the body as i wanted

ill get some pics of them if you want

I bought a new set of bumper brackets from LMC and then had to hack about an inch of material out of them and then weld them back together so that the bumper was nice and close to the body. Was a lot of work, but looks great now. Especially with a color matched bumper!
