Default LoD Mid-Width bumper and 37's

Does anyone know if I will have any problems with 37's rubbing on a LoD Signature Series mid width front bumper? I also have the Signature Series rear bumper with tire carrier. Any problems??

Ok, just finished the flat fenders. Doesn't look as bad as I thought with my 35's. Still going to 37's soon but I need to know if I'll have a problem with my front and rear bumpers

It's really going to depend on your lift height, bump stops, and wheel backspacing.

For reference I have a LoD mid width, Bushwacker flat flares, a Rock Krawler 3.5 lift (gained me just over 4"), a 1" body lift, 37" Toyos, and 3.5 backspacing. Yes, I rub badly on the front bumper, especially when flexed and full wheel turn. I will be trimming it on the sides about 2 or 3" and hopefully it will help.

Yeah, kind of figured that. I have the OME HD LT lift, 1" M.O.R.E body lift and plan on getting 15x10 wheels and 37x14.50x15 tires. Also, I have Teraflex bumpstops that came with the TF 2.5" budget boost
