Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper rubbing??

[prewdog4]

Did anyone else have this issue? I have a RK 3” Max Travel lift, 37” Nittos. After installing the RR Arcus bumper it rubs pretty bad if turning somewhat sharp.
There is a small pointed area that points right at the tires. I plan on just grinding a smooth radius in the area, but was curious if I was the only one??

TIA.... Mike

I have this bumper do you have a picture of the rubbing location?

I'll get a pic tomorrow...??

I just went and looked at mine its the point on the very top is my guess. I kind of wondered about that spot after I installed the bumper and I kind of forgot about it. I have 3 inch EVO springs in the front so when I move off the stock tires to 37's I'll probably have the same issue. It looks like and easy spot to grid with out even removing the bumper. Maybe just protect the corner of the grill when grinding.

I have the arcus.
3.5" lift on 37s....no rubbing at all, not even sure how it would be possible, just seems to far away from tires

Got a couple of pictures of where the bumper is making contact. It is at the lowest point on the bumper. definitely going to take some grinding to fix. Both sides are contacting the tires at full turn. ???

hey at least you figured it out before you took the grinder to it

Mind sharing a pic of the whole bumper installed @prewdog4 ?

 

[prewdog4]

Sure...I didn't even think it was possible to put it on upside down. It fit fine and looks ok... Until it runs. Lol

 

[prewdog4]

Ok, yeah I'm officially a bone head. I just get in too big of a hurry sometimes. I flipped it over and it fits much better and looks right now. And definitely not chance of rubbing. I'm not running a winch for a while, if I had been installing a winch I could have never mounted it upside down...

Anyway, pretty easy fix....????
