I just bought my body lift and I have two questions. One, did you guys buy gap guards for your trucks with the lift? and two, do you guys think it was worth it, or that i would need them if i get 35 inch tires? Or would the larger tires cover the gap?


Thanks!!!

 

I did have gap guards and sold them. I decided I would rather have full rear liners. As for my fronts go, you can see my LT headers very clearly and it looks good so i will leave those alone.

I have 36" tires BTW and but also 9" of susp lift so mine are more noticeable than just a BL.

 

Right thats kind of why im wondering, i feel like the 35s may fill the BL pretty decently and i might not need them. i guess if i dont like it ill end up getting them. Picked up the lift for 250 so i couldnt pass it up.

 

i have the 3" bl with 35's and a level and it looks good. im planning on full liners just havent ordered them yet. im waiting on money.

 

I still suggest full rear liners because it keeps the mud and everything off the body and the pinches where it can hold that dirt and moisture and start to rust. Look at the top of your rear tire well and and you will see what I am saying.

 

Thanks for the tip ill look into that for my truck.

 

You'll need them. You will be able to watch a ballgame thru the gap, trust me. Even though I did a suspension lift on my current truck, I've installed three sets of body lifts, two on my own trucks.

However, after the first time I got smart and hit the hardware store for those big, thick rubber mats and cut the things out myself. Basically the same thing, and there are plenty of holes on the frame and underside of truck bed to mount them.

Cost to do it that way at the time was about $15, but the last one I did was about 10 years ago, so even if they are $20-25 now, you are still WAY ahead of the game...

 

it will look like *** without some kind of liner/gap guard in there... i have the PA ones, and the fronts are nice but the backs are cheap junk but they cover the gaps nicely...
i see a lot of trucks around here with big gaps between the frame and bed... looks like chit and most of them are chebys and furds so you can see the entire frame too..

if i could do it again i would buy the full liners for the rear and make something for the front

 

^^^What he said, dont pay for them waste of money, make your own.^^^
