    What kind of bumper is that?? I've been trying to find a front bumper/guard that I like that that looks like about what I'm looking for.

    I have the bolt on allpro sliders. Got the predrilled bolts in just fine. Is there a shop local though that you guys would recommend to do the drilling of the other holes? I started one and its a near impossible task it seems.

    Anyone here also running 265/70/17 Falken wildpeak at3w’s on stock height 2nd gen? I’m experiencing a little rubbing when making sharp turns. I don’t have enough saved up for a suspension lift. Do y’all think a temp spacer lift will fix the problem?

    The small ass mud/flap in front of the tire and the cab mount. I’d hate to do a CMC for such a minor tire upgrade. It’s not even a true 32” tire. (31.5” or 31.7” I think)

    I'm not an expert on 2nd Gens but even a spacer lift can add up.

    All the potential costs. Cost of part, install (easy enough with basic hand tools, jack, and jack stand if you can do it your self it would be free) and alignment.

    Can you trim the plastic a bit and see if that helps?

    I had the same issue. I just removed that small flap, its actually held on with two little bolts. No more rubbing.

    I was just curious if anyone else experienced this. I’ve also heard from some, that their stock tires were 265/70/17 and not rubbing.. I’m like how. I’m only @23k miles on my 2014, I doubt my front suspension is maxed out.

    I should have specified. In my case, i have BFG KO2's on my truck so not stock. The size increase was just enough to rub, not alot and not all the time, but I ended up taking the small front flap off.

    Had a productive day off so far. Finally after weeks of looking at parts pile up in the living room got everything installed! If anyone for some reason needs stock lug nuts (24), stock TRD offroad bilsteins F&R, or TRD offroad wheels with tires that have 1500 miles on them let me know.

    Too few to list.
    From my experience, it was the front flaps that are mostly rubbing. As soon as I replaced the tires and went for a highway drive, the flaps were rubbing on turns. Take the front ones off and see if you have anymore issues.
