Does anyone know where to buy an adapter to lift my ARB bullbar 2" along with the body lift I'm going to install? Or is it not really necessary?

It may block your headlights if you don't lift it.

Had a quick look today and thought that might be the case, who sells the bullbar lift?

Most people just modify the bar via cutting and welding

On my Sierra I cut off the side bars so they didn't block the lights, not wise on a good bar. On my Vitara I lifted the bar by making new mounts.

Yeah, not too keen on cutting and welding haha does anyone sell a bracket? I saw one on eBay for $150, but that seems ridiculously overpriced, I paid $120 for the actual lift!

( on a sierra atleast) Basicly, you can't/shouldn't make an adaptor. The only way to lift it properly is to cut of the mounts and start again. ( weld in new mounts) JMO Peter

Damn :/ maybe if he welds the extension on as you're saying maybe? What have other people with body lifts done? Does anyone know any profiles I could look up to have a look at?
