Hey I was wondering if any of you guys with full width bumpers by ARB, AEV, LOD or Rugged Ridge have any rubbing issues.

I'm interested in a Full Width width bumper to go with 35 inch tires and a 3 inch TF lift. In the future I will be going to 37's and will most likely keep my full width bumper.


Thanks

 

I've read that 35's rub the end caps on the RR XHD bumper.... guys just take the end caps off when going off road...

 

I run ARB and my 35" KM2s rubbed the back of the bumper at full flex (on a reinforcement plate).

The plate unscrews with just a couple bolts & frees up space for the tire.

note: boots on here & david from alpha both run the ARB with 37" KM2s so it seems removing it clears enough space for the biggest of 35s but I'm not sure if truer sized 37s will rub

Thanks great info exactly what I was looking for does anyone know if the Mopar offroad bumper rubs with 35's or 37's?

 

I don't own a Mopar front bumper, but I'm pretty sure I've read a few posts stating 35's rub. I think AEV avoids this by having their the end caps tucked up higher.

 

I have a 3" TF lift with 35" Goodyear MTRs and I run the ARB up front and AEV in the rear. No rubbing.

 

I've got the ARB and it rubs up front with the wheels turned even with the braces removed. I've got 35s and the axle is moved slightly forward from stock by adjustable lower control arms. I'm going to make up some blocks to move the bumper forward 2" so I can run the braces and have no rubbing at full flex.

 

Rugged Ridge XHd w' end caps locked up our 37's when disconnected.

 

I got so annoyed with my end caps on my Rugged front bumper, my 37's constantly rubbed on them. Ended up taking them off and liking the look much better with an open wheel type look.

 

The AEV is made to clear 37's.
