What size tire can fit with that bumper?
Im guessing it’s got a lot to do with lift height. I have a 2.5 with 35s and to it looks like if I’m fully flexed with the wheel turned it’ll definitely rub.

I'd say bottom, with the plate bent a little towards the rear to follow the natural contour of the bumper

Holy hell,
was just doing some random browsing and saw this new bumper up at Rugged Ridge's site. - called "Venator"
Pretty damn sweet. Very factory looking, seems like quite a bit of thought went in to design a low profile bumper that works with the styling of the JLs. Would have believed it if this was the stock Mopar steel bumper out of factory. Probably not designed to bash rocks but then again not many do.

I'm picky about my bumpers and don't want a piece of rolled steel log up in front. Best part is that it includes the winch plate and skid plate and comes out cheaper than the mopar steel bumper.

Oh wow, sorry to hear to that.
Their promo photos are even showing 37s on there, but upon closer inspection it appears that the bumper is probably digging straight into the tires in that particular photo!
