Default Extending front bumper question

Hi,

have a 2001 D2 with a factory bumper and 2 inch terra firma left. I don’t want to cut the front bumper or trim. It is there a way to extend it?

I need to bring the bumper out about an inch to get clearance for my tires. It’s ok on the left side but not the right. Factory bumpers are hard to find and I don’t want to cut it.

OK, mine rubbed a touch on the drivers side with Duratracs in your size. Once I put an OME 2" lift on it however the clearance increased and the rubbing when away. Because of the way the bumper skin and the corner pieces integrate with the fender-well lining, I don't think extending the bumper is an option. I'm surprised that it still rubs however. Lifting the body up should move the bumper corners away from the tires.
