Just loosened the bumper cover bolts and stuffed some spacers in there. Presto rub gone!

I didnt have it disco. I want to make some bumper caps b4 I cut the bumper but the problem was more so in the rear with rubbing so I trimmed my rock rails and cut the seam to match. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet tho.

Do u think I should just chop it off? You would know better then I would. Because I was worried about that as well. And thank you for saying your concern! I am also saving for a bigger lift probably 3 or 4 but I don't want to have to swap shafts right yet so I don't know how big to go without getting issues.

I really liked what you did with your bumper and fenders! Personally i like the stock bumper minus the edges, the way you cut it looked nice added that extra rugged look, think it looks good!
