I've seen that done before and it is tacky. Either buy some Gap Guards or make your own out of plastic. Black blends in best.

Jangeloni, this is off topic, but I asked you a few questions about your exhaust in another topic. You said that you took only two of your cats out? Did you take the front or rear ones out? Does it sound more throaty now? I have True dual Straight pipes on mine and its loud, but its not very throaty. I don't want to take all the cats out cause I know it will be too loud and I would have to put some flowmasters on it.

I love my body lift its not as noticeable as you think i was thinking the same thing before i installed it. i will post more detailed pic's tomorrow.

Ford did allot better job of hiding the frame so it doesn't show like the 90's Chevy trucks!

P.S i did the install my self with a jack, hand tool's and one good buddy! ( except the back bumper i dont have a welder)

Okay heres what I think is a really good idea. Buy the GAP guards, and than buy some 3M rubber coating and spray the wheel well and the GAP Guard that way they look like one piece.

Any hints on the installation? and how long did it take?

Take your time, follow the instructions and have fun with it!
It took me about 10 hr total for the lift and 2 hr to clean my garage!! Defiantly worth it!!!
