hey everyone..i did my fair share of searching and could not find the answer i needed..i am looking at getting the arb bumper for a 2002.. on 4x4parts.com they have it but it does not have an option for a 2" bl.. as of right now i do not have a 2" bl but i am planning on doing it in the future. the thing is, i am moving to germany and really dont want to pay shipping on that bumper because i waited till i got the bl. so if you guys know wether it will work with or without the bl that would be awesome!! thank you

You can get the ARB bumper if you have a 2" BL, but you will have to fab something up if you do not want the 2" gap between where the ARB bumper sits against the body.

Slugger is right. ARB and TJM both are based out of Australia and by Australian laws, body lifts are illegal which is why they do not make bumpers that accommodate a body lift.

oh i see. i kind of figured that i would have to do something because there would just be a gap but i wasnt 100% sure. well in that case maybe i should just go with shrock then make a plate to cover that gap once i do the bodylift.

I have both. A Shrock on one truck and the ARB on the other. Get the Shrock. It's a much better bumper.

If you go with Shrock they have a 2" BL option for the front bumper that way there will be no gap or you could always go with a custom front bumper.
