Default Lifts and front and rear bumpers?

So I did the lift this weekend on my 92 S10 Blazer. 3 inch body lift that is. Well the more I keep looking at it and looking at it the more I am starting to wonder if it was the right choice at this point due to the stock bumpers are not fitting proper with a gap. I have yet to find a bumper mount for the S10 blazer. Any ideas on where to find it? If not is there a way to utilize the exsisting mounts and just raise the bumper up 3 inches?

try getting something that would mount on frame points that would be 3" high.
thats what i did, i bought a used kit and had to improvise.

so i got some extra pucks (smaller dia.) from local lift shop and raised bumpers that way, with some hardware from local big box shop. works for me, i have a hitch rec. and honestly almost never haul anything anyway. so bumpers just had to "look" right.
the rear bumper req. some trimming on bottom but it doesnt show unless your really looking for it.

This is my build thread for my blazer. I have a few pictures of how to raise the bumpers.
