We will find out soon. I think it will work well. I will still need to modify the main crossmember like you did though.

Dobinsons IMS front and rear shocks, rear springs, ~2" of lift front and rear, Icon Vector Vs 17" and KO3s to replace my outgoing KO2s.
Higgy's of Mesa did the work. Cool little shop that had my truck back to me super fast.
My buddy has a Higgy’s bumper and tire carrier on his 80. Sweet piece of hardware!

Very nice! Let us know what you think of the KO3s…

This is the solution I've been looking for. Could you post a few more pics from a lower POV?
I feel like even with the 2" lift I get with the Bilstein set-up, I'm eventually going to crush the back bumper cover.
Do you plan to do a resonator chop? I'm guessing it has much more of a visual presence with this low-pro bumper.
any better photo from lower angle?

Maybe I missed it in the thread, does this require AHC delete?
Any plans to do something similar for the front bumper of a 2016+ LX?
I don’t need to go rock crawling but some additional clearance front and back would sure be nice.
Not required, but you have to modify the cross member and support the AHC pump with a new bracket. I'm using the slee bracket. @lx200inAR was the pioneer. His post is here.
This is a picture of the slee bracket for reference. It bolts on the EE bracket the same way it bolts on the slee cross member.
thank you VERY much
Any thoughts on some way to fill in the recessed area of the mud flap after this bumper is installed? Trimming off a portion of the mud flap is certainly an option, but wondering there are other options for filling in the area. Perhaps something 3D printed?
What size tires? And any rubbing? Love the white lettering facing out
Thanks!
285/70R17. Very slight rub at near full lock on reverse. Not sure on what yet but seems minor and avoidable. Front mud flaps had to be removed.
Most likely you're hitting the front air deflector...thingies...in front of the tires. That's where my same-sized tires were hitting in reverse.
Which direction are looking to have filled. @turbo8 includes a spacer to bolt to the bumper that fills the gap between the mud flap and the bumper on the horizontal plane. He did it in two pieces so that it could be removed in the case that you run larger tires. There really isn't a gap in the vertical plane, but there is that ridge in the mudflap that would have normally caught the old bumper as it wrapped under the truck. I suppose you could trim that off if it looks incomplete. My though was to trim the mudflap up to that line so that it would look a little nicer. It really isn't that noticeable in day to day.
1.25” spacers?
Yes, I just replied to your DM.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes... I was referring to the gap where the removed portion of the bumper fit into the mudflap (that ridge in the mudflap that would have normally caught the old bumper as it wrapped under the truck).
