Need Pics of 1" BL with Steel Bumpers.

[cbr900boy]

Hey guys, I need some help deciding on a 1/2" or 1" BL. I really want the 1". I've searched and plenty of guys are running them but I am having a hard time finding a decent picture of 1" BLs with front and rear steel bumpers that were not modified to close the gap. At the time I purchased my front CBI and rear 4x Innovations bumpers, they didn't offer the BL option so I am stuck with what I have. Thanks guys.

Im running a 1.5" (so wont post a pic unless you request) with my front addicted offroad and dont bother me at all. No one every says anything or notices. Only compliments. You do want to paint black under to help hide the body which helps a lot. Only time any one has noticed is when I post pictures on this forum because we are all crazy!!!

A good reason not to build your armor around your body lift is because if you ever want to remove it you can. Sometimes when going SAS or larger suspension you will want to remove the body lift to get a lower center of gravity. Your stuck at what ever body lift your armor is made for.

I dont see a 1" gap like he is asking. Your bumper was not made for the 1" body lift?

Yes they offer a 1" body lift option for the mounting brackets

The entire point of the original poster is he wants pictures of bumpers with a 1" gap. He already has bumpers and does not have them modified so when he adds his body lift there will be a gap.

Maybe now they offer bl brackets for the bumpers he has and will not have to worry about the gap...

Thanks JayRolla for the heads up. No need to post a pic, I checked your build thread and the gap for your bumper does not look bad at all.

Thanks for posting the pic, your rig looks good. I checked and they don't make brackets, you have to order the bumper with the BL option.

i have a 1" gap on mine, covered it up with weather sealing and eliminated the gap basically, stole the idea from bandit runner check my build thread to see if you want page 4 shows the gap without the weather sealing

Ah damn that sucks. The mounting brackets for my Shrockworks bumper had the option to have the body lift offset since they are separate pieces.

Hey Foxrider, it looks awesome. Can you tell me what size and brand of weather sealing you used? Thanks.
