Damn that sucks
Yeah lol it made a horrendous noise. As soon as it started I knew what it was, idk how much I’ll have to trim. But I love the look of it and it sucks that when stuffed my tires will chew at it of course if everything bolted on without and issues I don’t think I’d like it as much... nothing like spending good money on something to bring home and hack it up to make it work ?

Might be better off getting the stubby version and selling the full width

Plus the eBay seller only has 93.3 rating!
I don’t buy anything unless seller rating is 98 or above.

Oh man, this one was on my list of possibilities. I have 35's, but with 3" of lift... I do like to flex it out every chance I get, so maybe I need to look at midwidth bumpers, rather than full width. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem, I wish I had found where some one tried it, it doesn’t rub unless I’m full lock steering and stuffed, since it’s already on and now has a slight bend in the bottom edge returning it is probably not an option. I could sell it but I doubt anyone would pay what I have in it for the bumper, especially one that has now had a tire bite. I bent it back straight with a rubber hammer. I think if I trim 1/2” off the bottom lip that points back towards the tire I’ll remedy the issue.... that gives me bragging rights on a custom bumper too right?!? ??
