Yep 315/75/16 Generals
The front bumper space was filled with a rubber trim piece I found online
the rear was easy . The trim I used on the Metaltech tube bumper was already long enough.
The sliders are Demello and they angle up so the inch isn't hardly noticeable

Looks great, probably going to do this next tire set.

I remember when I was looking at body lifts but finally decided against it. It just seemed like too much work and thatyouwere making changes to the vehicle that would put too much stress on different components.

But I know with the front bumper, all you have to do to adjust it is move the bumper up so it bolts into the next set of holes that are already in the frame. But the back bumper requires cutting of the plastic because when you raise the body, the frame is still in the same place, and the rear bumper is attached to the body, so what happens is the frame then is pressing against the plastic of the bumper on the bottom lip. I've seen pictures on here of what people have to do to make the body lift work and to me, I just didn't want to deal with those changes and modifications. And your rock rails would seperate from your body since they are attached to the frame. So there would be an extra 1" gap between the bottom of your door basically and your rails. And I believe you may be able to adjust your ARB bumper but I don't know.

front bumper is easy
back bumper looks normal
i did NOT have to trim or move my shroud with a 1 inch

The rear bumper does not need to be cut. I didn't cut mine. I didn't even remove any bolts on it when I installed a 1" body lift. The plastic will flex enough to accommodate it.

When you guys added the body lift, what type of suspention lift did you have? I still cant decide on which 3" lift to get, but would it matter?
