Default XHD Bumpers with endcaps!

I was thinking about getting the full sized end caps for the XHD Modular bumper but I was wondering if you guys had rubbing issues with the ends caps on with 35's and 37's.

Thanks

Matt

Lots of rubbing issues with the old style caps. They have been re-designed, and are thinner and more user friendly now.

I have the old style, and was rubbing with 32" tires...

Oh man, do you know where we can get the new versions?

The redesign happened quite a while ago, so unless you find a vendor that has had the caps sitting on a shelf for a year or so, you'll get the thin ones. Got mine almost 3 years ago.


Here is a pic just for the hell of it.
Disco'd with 3.5" lift and 32" actual height tires.
