RR Front Bumper
I have the RR front bumper with the winch. I also have the sides to make it a full size instead of a stubby
I left the sides on for the trail and had them rubbing really bad in the sides of the tires with flex.
So, has anyone else had this problem or is it because my control arms have pushed my front axle too far forward?

Several people have reported rubbing the bumper ends with larger tires. I know they're fairly close to my stock Rubi 32s, I figure if I go bigger I'll trim them some because I dig the full width look.

Just wanted to make sure I was not the only one.
I used a angle grinder to trim them forward and this fixed the problem, a quick fix. Not sure why the R&D on these did not pick up this problem. It took me all of 30 seconds to figure it out on the trail.

[QUOTE=renegadelt1;1241905] Here ya go:
This one you need to tilt your head to the right to see it correct. This moved the bottom lip about 3in forward = no more rubbing.
I trimmed the top just in case, it was only the bottom that had been rubbing
