You can definitely just get some slabs of rubber belt to do the trick. IMO the front doesn't look that bad after the body lift anyway.
Also, I'm not sure why some guys are so worried about trimming the front of the frame. The is absolutely no measurable reduction in frame rigidity from this. The trim is forward of the front-most body mount. Also, the simple relocation of the bumper does more to effect safety/function than trimming and inch off the very tip of the frame. How can you be worried about that, but not worried about the extra 30lb or so that is added to each wheel hub by going with oversized wheel/tire combos?
