Default cutting your bumper.. for 35s

so I just got 35 mounted up today and I rub at the very bottom corner of the front bumper. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of how they have cut there bumper? I only rub on the drivers side, so I was thinking of going back under it and just cranking that side torsion bolt a few turns to get it up a little higher.

When I first put on my 36s I had to slightly trim the end of the plastic lower air dam.

A buddy of mine taught me a trick. Go to a dollar store or something of the sort and buy some cheap chalk. If you rub it against the plastics and then get your tires to rub up against it, it will show you exactly where you need to trim.

Luckily my Ram didn't need trimming with the 35s but his Ford did when he did his.

I would recommend getting a dremel to cut it too, makes life much easier than any cutters or powertools.

I found my problem, and it was rubbing on the bumper itself, not the plastics. But my bumper was pushed inwards. So I just hooked my buddies dodge up to it and pulled it out to where its suppose to be.

and Dmoney all I did was crank my torsion bars.
