ok so me and my friend were putting on my AC (PA) 3" bodylift last night and i need some quick help. the instructions are complete garbage. we got all the blocks in and thats all bolted down. i am extending various lines and such, but we are at the point where i need to put the bumpers back on. i dont know what to do or what bracketsgo where. i am keeping my stock bumpers for now. if some one could tell me what each bracket is for from the picture on 4x4parts.com website i would really appreciate it. it also seems that i have a TON of extra harware, ie nuts, bolts, and washers. why is this. my last question is does the kit come with radiator reloction? for now i cut the lower part of the fan shroud and it looks like it should work fine. all input is greatly appreciated

The kit comes with extra hardware, as it appears to be a generic kit, mine had alot leftover too. The radiator kit should have been in there, but i didnt use it either, i just cut the fan shroud and it works fine.

The rear bumper will bolt back on and match the 3" BL if you just move it up one hole and use a couple of new bolts on it. The front bumper relocation brackets are flimsy at best, but if you get the bolts tight enough it'll stay put. Just don't expect the front bumper to withstand any accidents.

Did the kit come with some 3" or so long flat brackets with a hole at each end? There should be 4 of those and some bolts to use to bolt them together. The instructions say nothing about the bumper brackets?

All the bumper brackets are, are four pieces of strap steel w/two holes in them (for the front bumper). The rear bumper you are usually left on your own.

Here's how that would look after install.
