Default Help me hide rear pinch seam after body lift

I did the body lift and the rear of my JK looks poop.

Has anyone come up with some type of trim or something ?? My kit came with brackets to raise the bumper but they are really only good for the stock bumper

Rugged Ridge or a similar manufacturer could market a very inexpensive piece of trim to wrap around the back of the bottom of the tub.

Ideas ??

Heres a link to a painted fix.

I have also read, cant remember if it was on here or not, that aluminum L channel can be used to take up the space. I believe that was painted as well.

Take off your body lift and get a suspension lift

painted my side seams black, sure helped the seam blend in a bit better without being such an eye sore. Can buy aluminum or steel channels from hardware store. Measure length, width, cut, drill, and bolt on.

I will snap a pic today, but basically the back of the Jeep starting at the rear most part of the rear flare and wrapping around to the other side. Something shaped like this ?
