In the rear, I raised the bumper with the one inch DIY write up on the forum, which was easy and reduces the rear seam quite a bit.

I did not opt for the PA seam covers, since I do mostly light trails with lots of mud. Having this gap, makes it much easier to hose off the undercarriage and look for any problems.

Two inch BL gave me little bit more height I was looking for without sacrificing a great of money.
got any pics of your setup?

I prefer that over the stock look as well. You can still see the bottom edge easily with the 1" as well:





You might like more tho. Both are great ways to snag a lil more lift on the cheap
