I put 275 70 R18 Goodyear Duratracs on my 12 JKU and was grinding at the air dam but only in reverse with steering wheel to full left going down a small divot in my driveway. 1.5 spacers and one inch coil spacers are also on the rig. I read a ton on this before I bought the tires and everyone said that there would be no rubbing issues with either wheel spacers or 1 inch coil spacers. I did both. Just a fyi. Now to shave the air dam down some.

Break out the lawyers?? Lol don't know what to say man. It's a piece of 1/8" plastic with no purpose. Don't see the issue. OP sounded like he had the situation under control by trimming it.

Actually, I used my air dam as a dust pan before I threw it away when I was cleaning the garage. But to the OP, while removing it looks better, trimming it will work fine, and does slightly reduce hood flutter at highway speeds.
