I got in a front end accident a while back. Nothing bad but pushed my bumper back. The people at the dealership didn't pull it back right so now my 22 mud terrains are rubbing when I turn in reverse. Any ideas how to get a little more clearance? My friend said air shocks. I only need like 2 inches of clearance from my bumper and tire.

 

If they fit before, just loosen the bumper and move it forward. Otherwise, you can get a body lift.

 

are your torsion bars cranked yet you could try that supposedly you can get 2 inches of lift from doin that

 

 

post a picture....but if your 32's are hitting....that doesn't take much. My 31's barely clear, period.

Where is your bumper bent? You're is an 00 so i assume it's like my 01, only 4 bolts..99 and earlier had 8.

What we did for my old bumper, was take a 15 foot tow strap, tie it around the upper (thick part) section of the bumper, put the other end on the tow hitch of the Hemi. Had trans in neutral, parking brake on the floor, and both feet on the brake pedal, while dad yanked with the hemi. Dagged the dakota bout 6 foot with all 4 wheels locked solid, but the bumper eventually unfolded itself.

 

i would say t-bar crank or a hammer.

post up some pics so we can see what you are talking about

 

they changed everything between 00 and 01 so they're probly different.

make sure your brackets arent still bent, id replace those if they are bent

 

you can go with a BL for pretty cheap, why not just do that?

 

ok, i keep forgetting where all the splits are.

OP: If yours are the 8 bolt bumpers (2 on end of each frame rail, and 2 45 degree gussets next to the front tires), I don't see how they could have flexxed that far back for the tires to rub?

 

I like all these ideas except for the body lift. I heard if you go fast and stop it can shift everything and mess it up. keep them coming I let you know how it goes this weekend.
