If you don't like looking at the space left between the frame and body, you can use some Gap Guards to cover it up. These are pre-molded urethane inner fender covers that seal up the added space between the body and the frame, to finish off the installation. In this application, the Performance Accessories Gap Guards are simply positioned in place so that the holes in the guards can be used as a template for drilling into the factory plastic inner fenders. Plastic snap buttons are provided to secure the Gap Guards in place.
With the installation complete, a set of 35-inch BFG Mud-Terrain T/A's on a set of Poison Spyder Spyder Lock beadlock wheels were added to the Jeep. A body lift such as this one retails for about $300 and gave this JK added ground clearance and traction that can allow this otherwise stock vehicle the capabilities of hanging out with a more experienced crowd.
