my bumper is only trimmed about a 3/4 inch on the lip and then what i did was bent the little bracket on the bottom around to the outside of the car and shot a screw through it and the bumper to hold the bottom of the bumper about 3/4 of an inch towards the outside of the car... I'm gonna more then likely make a new tab and put the plastic fastner in the bumper to hold it there, but the screw works also... and just for reference, in this pic the roof of the car is about as high as my sternum, if that.. I'm 5' 8".. the cars pretty low..lol...

hey JPMuscle, my frame rails are 29" apart. i still have about 7" of space between the inside of the tire and the frame rail. i wanted to make sure that i could fit a much bigger tire if i ever wanted to put one on there. i could easily fit a 32x16x15 under there.

thanks for the Info, im prolly gonna end up doing something around a 24in kit im looking to run a little bit bigger tire than that. somwheres around 33x20x15. im gonna have pro street radials under it instead of slicks being street driven and what not.
