Any way to close the front bumper gap after a body lift (TJM T17 Bumper)
Just installed a one inch body lift. I have a TJM T17 front bumper. Ive done some searching but haven't came across any mods or fixes for raising a aftermarket bumper. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

you can do something like I did back in the day, use rubber door trim to fill the gap.
rubber edge trim,pvc edge trim,rubber seal strip -about us
worked well for me. put the "U" part on the bumper and after awhile you wont even notice it.

That's not a bad idea. I might end up doing that if I cant figure out some kind of a bracket mod solution. Thank you for that.

Each aftermarket bumper mounts differently - you'll have to figure it out yourself.

it is kinda hard with a 1 inch body lift I have a 3 inch which made it easier because I have more space in there to just fab up a "bracket spacer" so you call to drop the mounting position down will move bumper up. simple piece of flat iron a bought at the hardware store that I cut/drilled drilled out

A bracket adjustment kit is available from a 3rd party source. I'll try to dig up the seller I used for my 1.5" BL (Fat Pat may know too) and post. Raises the bumper just like it came from the factory. You may be able to get someone to fabricate a pair too.
