Question Body lift front bumper options

Hey guys, I have a buddy who just bought a 2002 Silverado 1500 with a body lift on it, & some oversize tires. He likes the way it sits, but the previous owner hacked the **** out of the lower front bumper valence to accomodate the tow hooks.

He's wanting to just remove the front tow hooks and get a front bumper cover that will cover up the frame ends, but I haven't found one without the tow hook openings. So I'm asking you guys if you know of anything available. He does have factory fog lights that he wants to keep.

Thanks in advance,

Roger

Could trim the fram and get a new cover I know what your saying how it hits the lower valence, friend of mine did some trimming on fram to get the cover back on without pushing out, you can get a cover on ebay w/out fog lig and tow hook holes and just cut the ones out for the fog lights, this was couple years ago, I don't recommend body lifts any more after jakes small wreck with a bodylift on his

Ive seen people use the HD cap on the bumper to fill the body lift gap so the bumper doesn't have to go up as much

HD bumper cap in the front, raise rear bumper and swap to an HD hitch, good to go. I suppose I should ask what size body lift though. The above works perfect for a 2", don't know how it would work with a 3".
