Does anyone know of a way that I can cover-up the frame that is now exposed after installing my bodylift?

Nitrox,

Get ahold of JMTruck, he has some great pics of his lifted truck with some Performance Accessories Lift Lips (gap guards).
Here's his site. http://www.communicomgroup.com/jmtruck

Another question: I've talked to a few other owners with the 3" lift, but none with a '99 or newer F150. Any problems with the install?

I'm sorry, after re-reading my first post, I wasn't specific with my question.

I've got the liftlips, the area of the frame that I meant to say was the area under the front bumper.

You can now see the I-beams / end of the frame. It measure very close to 3.5" square. I was thinking about going to Lowes Hardware and buying some sheet metal and makeing some end caps, and spray painting them black.

Thanks for you reply, Jupiterak ...

My install time took me around 18 hours. The only thing that I had to do, was goto Advance Auto Parts and purchase some .5" tubing for my gas vent line. The line that they supplied in the kit measured 3/4". Other than that, everything went well.

I know one person had the front of his frame cut back to the mount and the valence covered the rest...
