gap guards

i have put a 3 inch body on my truck and want to get rid of the ugly gaps between the frame and the body. i went to my local 4x4 shop to see if they had any for my truck. they said the only ones that they make are for 4x4's and stepsides. We looked into gap guards and lift lips and it was like he said, just for 4x4 and stepside. i know the back gap guards on 4x4s and 2wd are the same but would there be a difference in the front? by the way my truck is 2wd.

gap guards

The cheapest gap guards around and will work on any 4x4 or 4x2 is go to Home Depot and get some of the Black plastic landscape edging and cut it to the length you want and rivot or sheetmetal screw it to where you want it and can be trimmed quite easily also works good for the rear bumper the landscape edging is aprox 4" wide or up to 6"s wide
