Default Bumpers for JKUS

Does anyone know of BUMPER clearance problems using Mopar "Off-Road" front and rear bumpers with 35s? My rims are 17x9 w/4.5 BS.

I haven't decided which bumpers yet. Just wanted to know if I should rule-out Mopar.

My advise would depend on how far you are going to take your build. I would hate to buy one bumper,, then, 2 years down the road have to buy another because I stepped up in tire size. Do some research and see if you can find a "stubby" bumper you like. Most of them are short enough they will not interfere with tires until you get past the 37" range. I went with a JCR because it was built seriously strong, had a large flat surface for mounting any winch, enough room left over to mount lights, welded in shackle receivers, and built in mounting for the factory fog lights; plus, it was a direct bolt in with no mods needed. It met the needs I was looking for. So do the research, and find a bumper that meets your needs,, then spend the $. A great place to start on bumper research is Quadratech! They carry so many manufacturers, its a great place to see them all.
