[Yovwmon]

For those that are using spare tire relocation kits what are you doing to extend these bumpers?

Just eye-ballin' your setup, I think the longer JK OEM bump-stops will work. No modification necessary, just $12 to buy.

Use 1-1/4" garbage disposal hosing, cut it to the correct length, and just insert it into the existing bumpstop. Simple, cheap, easy.

I have ran with a setup like the one above. Works great.

Here you go

Or 1” PVC painted black works too if you already have them laying around.

This works great. It fits OVER the existing bumper. Then trim the other end to the needed length. There is another post somewhere with details. Will try post a pic of mine later. Gap was about the same as yours.

Thx to all that replied with ideas. I went the 1 1/4 Dishwasher discharge hose and rubber chair tips route and it’s perfect.
