I was wondering how you all dealt with the tailgate contact points of the LoD swingout after adding the 1" Body Lift?
I have the second generation LoD swingout, but I'm sure the contact points are the same as others.
The side ones attached to the swingout seem to be pretty simple as they can bolt through the higher holes where the fuel can carriers attach. (green arrows)
The center one on the swingout is a welded triangle, with the bumpstop attached to the gate. Neither of these move, and lifting the body 1" will cause them not to hit securely. (red arrow)


Remounting the bumper up (as some do with the factory tupperware) is not feasible.

Thanks for any tips.

I have the second gen LoD rear carrier bumper and a 1" BL installed currently and actually haven't changed anything. The rubber stops still contact the swing carrier. It's not ideal but so far it has worked fine for me.
