Raise Front Bumper???
Is it possible to raise or "lift" the FACTORY front bumper so it sits more flush with the fender flares and also provides further clearance for 36" + tires??

Except the factory bumper doesnt do a thing, except LOOK...sit there.
I spaced mine out 1.5 inches, which doesnt solve your first issue, but my 37's had no problem with it stock, they rubbed the air damn a little though

With the factory bumper using the crush cans to attatch to the frame I'm not sure how you could raise it higher. You would have to build something off the mount of the bumper that attatches it to the crush cans.
Hell, I'm not sure that even made sense. Not to mention the bumper would then be covering a lot of the front grill area also looking VERY strange.
Sounds like a new bumper to achieve what you want would be the way to go.
