    I'm assuming a 1" body lift will make a gap between the headlights and front bumper. I don't have a bumper on atm, but I am in the market for either an aftermarket or stock.

    When I had the stock bumper on the gap wasn't noticeable but I'm afraid with an aftermarket like a steel one from relentless the gap may be more pronounced. If anyone has any knowledge on this issue and how to solve the gap let me know! It would be greatly appreciated.

    It does have more of a gap but that's not necessarily a bad thing your body and frame thus the bumper flex quite a bit when you are really flexing the truck out. What I am going to do to solve this is raise the bumper so the top bolt is in the bottom bolt hole and then just drill new bottom and middle bolt holes for the bumper. As the bottom and top bolt holes are ~1" apart.
