Default Front bumper question?
Just put wheel spacers on my truck and now the wheels rub very bad on the front bumper. How hard is it to move the bumper forward. Or should I just trim the bumper ?

the bumper is mounted with 4 bolts - it would be very easy to get longer bolts and shim them. I don't know how it would look, though.

It would look better to trim it probably depending on how much you need to do

I spaced mine out about 3/4" and you wouldn't notice it looking at it

in my case it gives me a better step to work on the back end of the engine.

I went ahead and trimmed the bumper a little bit but might still shim it also .
