MOVE BUMPER

[GOEGLEINBROS]

I just put a lift on my truck and when I turn the wheels at FULL lock they rub on the steal bumper. I was told that you can move the bumper out. Is this true and how do you go about doing it?
pics will be posted soon!

You would have to shim a plate behind the mounting brackets on the front of the bumper. That's really the only way I can see of moving the bumper out, otherwise trimming will be the other solution.

Shim plate for me meant a few Fender washers..... Take the Front bumper off, you'll see how it mounts... purdy much a no brainer from there...

yeah just get you some flat washers wanna say they are 7/16 bolts. Or metric i know i mounted my replacement with 7/16's bolts grade 8.

a friend of mine was able to fabricate an actual spacer plate at his work. I don't know what kind of machines you have access to. his work has one of those really expensive lathes (of whatever it is), where you input the size and it cuts it for you. probably more technical than I needed, but oh well.

I decided to go with a 1/2" spacer plate that surronded the tow hook, with two bolt holes in it, so that the bumper would sit flush. with 1/2" I did not have to get longer bolts.

I ended up usinh two 1/2 inch nuts with longer blots(4 1/2") to space it out. It worked real well. Thanks
