Default Body Lift Help!

So i bought this jeep a couple years back and it had a body lift on it ...

now i want it gone, or atleast some tips on how to cover up the gaps, it looks terrible and doesnt add much to the look of my jeep

i dont want to take the body pucks out and not have the stock parts to replace them, if anyone has any idea about what kind of body lift this is or what i need to replace it, that would be great

heres a view of the gap it leaves in the front (not real noticeable)


heres the front body puck


heres the gap it leaves in the rear of the jeep (looks ridiculous)


and heres the rear puck


any help with this issue would be great. thanks in advance

most of the body lift pucks just stacks on top of your existing factory body mounts so you will be fine with just removing them. the only 2 you may need to address are the front ones as a lot of kits dealt with them with new body mounts. if that's the case, you should be able to buy just the front 2 from http://www.jeepcarparts1.com/

I have a RC bodylift waiting to go on at the moment, and it came with new bumper brackets for the rear bumper. You might take a look at Rough Country's site and see if they sell them seperately, and get rid of the rear bumper gap.

Check out Performance Accessories website. They make the most complete body lifts on the market. I'm sure they have bumper reloaction brackets and "gap guards" that will help the look of your Jeep. Another option is to remove the pucks, cut them in half and wind up with a 1 inch body lift. That would make the gaps less noticable.
