315/75/R16 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac on 16x8 Procomp 8069 Series

2" RB body lift and BruceTS inspired rear bumper

Sliders go on this weekend and the ARB will be re-fitted to match the BL

After that rear cargo system goes in, and re-gear soon after... No new pics really, after I get the ARB fitted I'll take some good ones...

looking good, hard to see the back view... what was the width of the 2x4 after cutting the angle? I see a bit of a gap where the plastic top plate matches up at. I usually leave a 1/2" vertical gap between the body line and top bumper plate, but you should be fine.

I'm not sure of the final measurements but I do have a little gap with the plastic trim... I'm working on something to hide it a little. And I completely failed to remember the gap between the bumper and body.. It's fairly snug, I just hope I don't bash it too hard.

Thanks again for the help Bruce, your workmanship is top notch and is evident in the pieces you fabricated for me!

Looks great man.

I'd add a little space between it and the body to allow it to flex when it gets hit, otherwise it'll flex up and crinkle the rear qp, or worse, the tailgate.

If you don't like the look of the gap, you can always add something like garage door weatherstripping from home depot to it. it adheres well and actually makes for a nice visual touch.

Edit: This felt a little like deja vu, and I guess I gave this same advice earlier on page one too
