Trying to put on spacers but the part where the bumper meets the quarter panel is just too thick and hits the tire no matter what i do. Do you shave it down? I raised it up but it still hits I don't want to raise it anymore.

Hammer, more negative camber, more stretch, etc.

What exactly am I hammering, the bumper is plastic? I got the camber as maxed out as I could get it stock and i'm running a 205/30 on a 9.5 wheel.

Does anyone have a picture of what their bumper looks like?

I've seen pics of people hammer up the metal that's under there. I wanna say Spoony did his like that. You may want to check his build thread searching takes too long on my phone.

I hammered and cut and theres still no room, now theres no way for bumper to stay tight on the quarter. I'm thinking i might have to mess with the rear toe a little bit. This is a pain in the ___.
