Anymore than a 1" body lift will look funny. If your talking in the wheel well cut a piece of galvanize aluminum paint it black and screw it in to cover it.

Could you use the black plastic edging from gardens, cut/shape it to fit the line you want, and screw it in.

You sound like a 2-year-old. Your initial response to a legitimate question was flippant and dismissive. I don't blame the OP for telling you to pound sand. I second that motion.

It was an honest answer and would resolve the ops problem. If you don't like the truth don't ask questions.

Not trying to be combative or anything but did you consider removing the body lift and swapping out for some coil spacers to make up the difference. Large body lifts I think look a bit fugly and if cost is a factor I cant see how you will save anything trying to mod around the whole jeep to make it look better then just using a different solution to squeeze out some more room. For me personally I just dont think body lifts are all that safe really. I mean securing my whole jeep to the frame with 3 inch bolts and plastic spacers just doesnt seem all that strong to me. Plus the other clearance issues just make it seem not all that worth it to me. Let us know if you figure out a good solution.

I found Performance Accessories makes a product called Gap Guards for the JK. It's basically four new wheel well liners and a piece of trim for under the rear bumper. I will post up the results once installed

I went with a body lift to get the last little bit of room I needed/wanted. When I got my suspension,steering, and ride quality finally dialed-in, I decided I did not want to start messing with it again. The body lift was a good solution.
