3rd Gen. front bumper cut - the high line

Have fun! Keep in mind that the front rubbing is probably not what would hold you back from 33s, it'll be the rear. You'll need a good alignment, correct offset wheels, and maybe a little trimming at the rear.

 

If you aint on 35’s, i wouldnt even do this, Its not necessary. Even then i would seek for a high clearance bumper.

 

Unless maybe, just maybe, you do it because you like the way it looks.

 

I believe with the Icon 3 leaf progressive and wheel spacers I should be fine with 33"s, based on research.

 

My bad, I see I was unclear. I meant the rear of the front wheel well - not the rear of the vehicle. Anyways there are loads of threads on what to do to fit 33's so we can leave it there. Good luck on your build!

 

@Nimble9 aka Squareone Creations https://squareonecreations.com/collections/accessories makes/sells a plate to cover those unsightly holes should you decide to remove that extra piece.

 

You do this because it’s a good option if your going to eventually get a bumper in the future. Certain bumpers require you to cut anyways so why not. Also allows you to clear bigger tires without any worries and looks pretty decent.
