Since I have the double tube Smittybilt bumper, the puny bumper brackers Performace Accessories included with their 3" body lift kit would not do.  So I designed (on cardboard first) some brackets that would then be welded on the bumper brackets to raise the bumper up 3".  I had the machine shop also drill one of the holes for me (long enough so I could adjust the positioning of the bumper.  After the extensions were welded on, it took a lot of trial and error to drill the correctly positioned holes to line up with the one in the frame of the truck.  I also had to drill a big enough hole in the body of the truck (a little below the predrilled holes) to access the bolt for the bumper.  And rather than using the spacer that Smittybilt provides (the shop lost them), I just used a butt load of washers.  Sorry I didn't take too many pictures, it was such a trial and error pain, that I was too frustrated to take any more.
