Ive been trying to find a bar or grill guard for my front end of my 98 Tahoe for about 4 months.. I wanna put lights on it too. But heres the thing. I have a 3" body lift which means the front bumper is higher 3 inchs which also means, any bar that mounts to the frame will be 3 inch's lower than where it was normally sapoosed to be... hmmmm. I really like the Westin Bull Bar but I looked at how that is mounted and found out it wouldnt looked good because it'd be too low. I have no idea what Im looking for now. I guess Im looking for some pictures with some trucks with bars in the front with a 3" bd lift to see how it'll look....... I need some help to try to make this work. Any idea's which bars would work right?????????

I'd stay away from those Westins, I've heard many a rumor that they get moisture in them and then rust from the inside out. Since I had a 3 inch body on mine also, I got a custom 1 piece (welded together) brush/grille guard that is very sturdy for about $400. When they made it they accounted for the lift (i.e. where it bolts to the frame under the bumper) so it sits at normal height relative to the body.
