GEN 2 Bolt-on Front Bumper Discussion

[Leftsidej]

I just had my ADD bumper installed the other day and I absolutely love it. Getting the rear bumper replace next month.

Phenomenal look. What wheel setup are you rocking?

Does anyone happen to know how 37s would work with the ADD bolt on with eibachs/geiser/perch collars? Curious if trimming would be required to fit 37s if you went with aftermarket bumper instead of trimming stock

Looks sharp! Is the collars/ level required to fit the wheel/tires? Or would trimming be enough?

What is the backspacing/offset of the 601s?

If you run a 35x12.50x20, you can get away with just doing some minor trimming at full lock. Since we ran the 325 (taller and wider), we had big collars and trimmed for full clearance.

Looks like the Method 315.

Yes, trimming will still be required on the backside of the fender well, close to the firewall. It's mostly just plastic. Maybe hammering a bit of metal, depends on how aggressive of a wheel/tire setup you have.

Thanks for the info! I have some +0s on at the moment, so I’m assuming that wouldn’t help at all in my case for 37s, lol.

It’s not ideal. But a 17x8.5 0 offset and a 17x9 +12 offset are pretty close to each other.

Ideally, the more positive, the better as far as 37” fitment is concerned.

I’m trying to find the post, but someone mentioned the ko2s aren’t true 35, and measured another brand of tire side by side and the difference looked somewhat substantial. Appears a “true” 35 may have a beefier appearance than the ko2.

for those with the ADD pro bolt on, what lights are yall running in the bumper?

That's correct. The stock tires are 34.6" tall. Most 35" tires are not "true 35s". For example, the 35x12.50x20 tires are usually 34.7" or so. Vs a tire like the 325/60R20 is a true 35.0" tall tire. They're all different, but it's something to consider and varies from one band to another.

We've had people run the gambit on them. Straight 20" bars, curved 20" bars, 10" Bar plus cubes, 6 cubes from all brands you can think of. Really just depends on the look that you want and what you want to get out of your lighting setup.
