Are you sure it is the bumper support your tires are rubbing? It may be the crash bars instead and all you have to do is either cut them(not preferred) or replace them.

Yes after more research it was the crash bars in front rubbing. removed them PIA BTW. Now it just rubs a little in the rear on the other crash bar. I dont see anyway for them to come out unless you loosen the body mounts and raise the cab/front section, like installing a body lift.

What most have done for the rear is just cut and remove but be aware that if you dont put in the replacements from bds or Fab tech then you are more at risk for.leg crunch in a collision.

I don’t know how handy you are with a grinder & welder. But what I did was cut about an 3/4 of an inch off the back crash bar with a cutting wheel. Then boxed it in with with some bar stock. It took about 45 minutes to do this. Vs removing all the crap that goes along with installing aftermarket crash bars. Doing the fronts isn’t to bad. So I ordered a bds kit and only used the fronts. Just a thought.
