I'm thinking sheet metal painted black, and if you didn't want a gap you shouldn't have gotten a body lift.[addsig]

Yeah body lifts are pretty much a pain in the ass... Many people go for them because they think it will be the "easy" way to gain a lift... Well... to gain a 1" lift, which is a very small lift, springs or shackles are a much easier way, and (if shopped right) cheaper than all the stuff involved in a body lift. And there is not much involved with a body lift... Plus you don't have the trouble of covering the absence of matter.[addsig]

I would agree that while body lifts may add a little height, they don't really add that much for you. You get added tire clearance, that is about all. I would much rather go with a 1.5" shackle lift, its a lot easier and you gain ground clearance as well which is very beneficial to have....[addsig]

Get some nerf bars for the side of your jeep. They will help in the masking of your gap and look cool. Just don't get chrome! Chrome is for buicks and trailer hitch balls, not jeeps! For the front, get a brush guard or winch. For the rear, mount a hi-lift jack on the crossmember.
Problem solved. [addsig]

Your grippin about 1inch! C'mon man put some pant's on! 1inch is nothing. If it really bothers you remove the lift. What was the reason for the 1" body lift anyway?

AHHHH now there's an explaination that could have helped before.. Now that we know you have a suspension lift, and are using the body lift to clear the tires... it seems much more viable[addsig]

You can lift other ways... plus... i would think if you have money for a few kits, then tires, then you could be able to get some bumpers fabbed up... best wishes for you... when its done... lets get some pics[addsig]

Ive got the 1inch body lift on my tj too. Itll look fine after a
couple weeks. Spend the money on the one inch motor mount lift. It make a BIG different in driveline angles. As far as the color gap goes above the frame in the rear, under the plastic fender poser thing, paint it black. Or you can do what I did and get rid of it and roll on tub liner in the fenderwells. I did the same to the front while I was at it. [addsig]

shackles = $30 at parts store... cheaper and easier than a body lift. My springs from the junkyard were free-er than a body lift too[addsig]
