Getting ready to order a 3" lift for my 2001 QC.
I have a brush guard on the front.
How is the brush guard going to work once I install the lift? Am I looking at a real pain in the A$$???
In other words, anyone know what's involved during the install to get the brush guard to attach?

I don't know because I haven't done it.. But if your brush guard on the same mounts as the bumper? If so it should be ok.. But your going to loose your tow hooks :'( although I think the holes MIGHT line up with the frame after it's lifted Hawkeye said it looks like they do.. only one way to find out for sure though.

I've heard its a real PITA. I want to do the same as you Ayrow but I don't want to deal with a brush gaurd that I have to fabricate brackets for. I want the one that bolts to the frame, not to the bumper. So far, my friends tell me they all had to make new brackets. :-/

Now I'm a little scared. The brush guard is indeed attatched to the frame - just like the bumper, but in a different spot.
Yikes... Now I am wondering if it is worth it to go for this or not.
Anybody have any ideas or solutions that are easier than re-fabricating mounts. I realld don't want to have to pull out my welder for this job if I don't have to....
However, she would look pretty sweet with the lift AND the brush guard, huh?
Thanks Guys,
Ayrow

I've seen it! Its worth it if you want to put in the time and energy. I'm still going to add a brush guard, it just might take awhile before I do. Actually Ayrow, check out this site. There is a guy I know that has done all this to his 2wd and he's got a web site. Its VERY informative and gave me lots of ideas on what I'm doing to my truck now.

You might run into trouble if you are installing a body lift. If you ar installing a suspension lift it should not be a problem. You might be better off, dumping the vrush guard and buying a pre-runner style guard which mounts to the bumper. That way it wont matter if you nstall a body lift or not it should work.
My 1999 Blue Dodge Dakota Extended Cab has a 3 inch Performance Accessories Body Lift and Rancho 3 inch Suspension Lift.
