Default Custom front bumper

not sure if this is were i should post this or not. Anyway im looking for a front bumper that will fit my 99 with a body lift. I was going to take the plastic valence of the front cause i dont want to cut it to clear bigger tires and i dont like the looks of it. If i take it off you will see all the new bumper/body mounts along with the oil filter and all that. I would like something that will bolt on that is a little taller so it covers everything and that will clear bigger tires.

I think an S10 bumper will bolt right up, and theyre nice and narrow, while covering all the unmentionables

ah...no youre right. What I was thinking of was just the newer body style bumper, with the lower half (valence) removed.



then remove the lower half:

Which ends up looking like:


So the only part exposed is the frame horns.

i dont think that last pic has a body lift. Im pretty sure you would see the oil filter. Its also a zr2 so the metal skid plat might cover more than my plastic one. Not sure though
