HELP! Need help deciding on a bumper

[Deleted member 12951]

There is no way I would have let it be that close upon install.

Like I had a choice?

Congrats jimbo, and a question for @HAYNES OFFROAD, would cutting the frame horns less leave more room for the bumper to flex?

There's a certain amount of "wiggle room" to adjust the bumper for proper installation, but no there's no advantage to cutting the frame horns more or less. And the problem isn't really the bumper flexing. I see more flexing out of the body being the problem.

Ok gotcha. I just dont like the idea of the bumper hitting the body or vice versa

IF I buy a 1000$ bumper and its touching the body panels to the point of removing the finish and/or paint something is terribly wrong. I am not saying its a bad design or SVC's fault at all it could be something went amiss with the install but either way it would have been removed at the first sign of rubbing. I would of hoped to of noticed this as soon as it was installed. Maybe @Raptizzle can weigh in on if his is doing this also.
