Default Can you raise front bumper after BL?

As the title says, can you raise the stock front bumper on a jk unlimited after a body lift? If so, how? I know about the rear bumper but havnt heard anything on the front, thanks in advance.

Some people have been making a plate to cover the gap in front. With a 1in, it's not that noticable anyway. More noticable in the rear, and that's an easy fix. On the frt, even if you moved the bumper up , it wouldn't fix the gap under the grill. And structurely it wouldn't be feasible to move it.

Back a few years my buddy had a 2" body lift on his F250. He hated the gap so we cut the frame horns and rewelded them 2" higher. We covered the gaps with some plate metal and welded it on. It worked, but I'm not sure of many people that are willing to cut the front of their frame up.
