I wash the hell out of my cars regularily in the winter.  This usually involves a couple hours every other week or so with me on my knees with a water hose.  I also have access to a heated wash bay so I'm not typical when it comes to winter vehicle cleaning.

It's a 3" Calmini body lift from what I've been told.  At least it's most of the Calmini kit.  The guy I got it from was just mechanical enough to be dangerous and his mechanic that he had do things was about as bad.  I've had to "un-jury rig" several things and he mentioned the body lift gave them problems.  The body mounts seem like they were done correctly but the bumpers... ::)
Some Trailtough or Shrock bumpers with their body lift mounts are in the works somewhere...maybe...which will probably mean never. ::)

Fuel tank lift...nah.
You could always take out the body lift... I bet you'd still swing 31's without it. Maybe not with your custom 2" BS wheels, but you could change wheels easy enough to something more suited.

Nah, it's there and not hurting anything.  If I took it off I'd need to start trimming and doing more to it than I already am.  I don't have the time, effort, or money to start getting in depth on stuff.  Full time college + sorta full time work + 2 other vehicles + married + house = not as many options as I used to have.

Besides, the rims look so pretty now that I repainted them this summer:

Actually I have some prototype lift skirts in CAD for a 3" body lift as I was as frustrated as you with the unsightly gap in there. I never did anything with them as I did the gas tank lift and it was more tolerable. I was basically going to have these models water jeted or CNC routed out of some thin plastic like ABS or what not. I was only going to bold them to the frame with some self tapping screws as the body and frame flex during offroading so I didn't want them to get ripped off or prevent that common flex..  I could look into having these made if there is enough interested in making several sets. I have no idea what they would cost.. I was thinking I could probably build a jig and run a rotozip around the ABS and get the same thing.. Quality wouldn't be as nice but it sure would be a hell of alot cheaper.. I mean we are talking about lift skirts here  right!!!
