    Does anyone here make a "skirt" or cover to cover up the the frame underneath the front bumper? I just got my truck back from the shop and this is the only part that looks ugly to me after the body lift.

    Agreed. Between my pelfrey bumper and skid, you can't see any of that except the hook. Although from the side you can still see most of it

    Maybe the TRD front skid plate could help

    I actually took the skid plate off that was on it because it looked so stupid with the gap lol. I have the XSP-X package and the skid plate came with the package if anyone here knows what I'm talking about.

    I just realized you specified body lift. I'm not sure how you'd fill that gap. Even an aftermarket bumper wouldn't line up properly I'd imagine

    I think you are going to have to make your own- choose your medium- If you can find some poly carbonate cut it to size/drill and fasten it to the frame. Paint to match. Another idea is if you can find a realtor sign and cut that to size/drill/paint to match. Could be a inexpensive solution. Use the same thing for the rear wheel well gaps but those gaps never really bothered me.

    The plate bumper solution would address the gap below but it will leave you with a gap above the bumper. Ditto on seeing some pics of the whole truck

    Haha yeah man. I'll put some pics in when I get a chance after work

    The body lift performance accessories makes is the only one I would consider. They did a great job including all the proper parts for extensions. Also I havn't seen one person complain about the 3" body lift from them yet.

    The kit comes with rear bumper brackets. It looks like it was before without the body lift.

    Im not a body lift person but the body lifts these days look alot better than the ones from the 90's that always pops into my head when i hear "body lift".

    Here she is. Now all she needs is 37's! I plan on doing that next with the Alpine cab mount relocation. I'm not afraid to say that this truck is for show. I did not plan to buy this truck to off road it (it's 2wd anyway), but simply to take my dirt bike back and forth to the track.
