Anyone use bumper extensions to move front bumper out?

[ColoradoCantu]

I installed the Auto Lynx Sway bar disconnects and super happy with articulation but now my front right tire rubs some with my full width bumper. Was thinking about adding a coulple heavy duty washers to move the bumper out some and found these DV8 Bumper extensions on Amazon. Does anyone have any experience with these? Is this a bad idea? Really like my warn bumper and dont want to replace it if I can avoid it.

I'd consider a stubby bumper before I'd space it out. Sticking the bumper out farther decreases approach angle and may put more stress on the chassis in an impact or recovery. You are pretty much removing the bumper to put on a spacer anyway, might as well put a better bumper on that actually enhances performance.

The bumper I bought need a 1/2 inch spacer to fit winch I went to tsc and bought longer bolts washers and nuts and over sized nuts as spacer a lot cheaper

There is/was a member on here that was selling them, he made them. I bought 2 1/4” plates so it moved the winch out a bit.

Svc707 made me a 1/2” set of spacers. The quality is top shelf and your buying an American made product from a fellow Jeeper

@svc707 as stated makes spacers.
Needed a set of 3/8" to make room for a winch in my evo bumper and they worked like a charm.
