The tube on my new warn lift rubs against the bumper, but works. Should I ignore this? It is showing wear. How rugged is the tube?

You have to find a way to get it to stop rubbing. I would speak to a warn tech. He might be able to get the problem fixed. Don't ignore it.

It also rubs on my Honda Rincon ' s bumper. I have been using it this way without issue and I am not overall concerned. Seem to be built pretty well. You can also call Warn. They are very helpful when I have called.

I would not ignore this, if it is pulling straight, you might be fine. If it is putting side pressure on it, you will probably ruin the inside and destroy it. I installed my lift on a Polaris with custom made brackets.

It was not use. Si there is nous wear on it. I have tester it before using it i am not dumb. Still it is not ma de for an atv, after asking a specialist from from John deere.

No you shouldn't ignore this because it could break but I don't know how strong the tube really is

I sold my jeep but can tell you it was a rugged ridge poster child. They make quality stuff. I had my jeep off-road. The rugged ridge took a beating. I did end up painting it so when I scratched it I could easily touch it up. I like the fact if you bang up an end you can change it out. There also several options as far as the look you want. I would recommend it 100%

Hi RAS: It's been over a year since I installed mine, but I vaguely remember a similar concern. As I remember, I also expected a tight fit like a sleeve over the antenna fitting, but then I realized that the U-bolts are what really holds the two parts together (via the bracket, which is firmly attached to the antenna). Just don't overtighten them (you'll start to see the pipe collapsing).

ive gotten one (actually 2 but have only installed 1) and was worried too but I have no problem with mine. It has lasted through a move where it had to be removed and reinstalled at the new place. only thing I would suggest is that if you do remove it and reinstall it make sure that the air tube isn't twisted

I actually have kept mine on for 2 years now and the deflector works fine (I zip tied mine like the other guy mentioned, nice and snug). I haven't noticed any additional noise due to it. I did lose about 2mpg from adding the rack but that's the sacrifice I'm willing to take. It's pretty easy to take on and off (5-10 min). I also have run it through car washes without any issue as well. Hope this helps.

Touches the tube on front passenger side but not driver side. Did not effect the look or purpose of mud flaps at all. Still work and look great.

I would take it off and put it back on and see if it sits properly. Also (I dont know your skill level) make sure the washer is on correctly, there are two very distinct sides. You will LOVE the Brake by the way.... that concussion from this thing is a beast, and almost little to no climb

It fit well ,do'nt tighten anything up until all the bolts are started,nothings perfect you might need to use your draw bar for leaverage too.I flipped my bumperettes over ,they seemed to fit better,(did not bind against the top of the hitch), Make sure your bumper bolts are still loose with bumperettes in place then put in the frame bolts,(like I said you may have to use your draw bar to move the hitch to get the frame bolts started. Then tighten everything up and torque them. Good Luck

Forgot to add ... Need to watch the fenders ... Maybe tack weld in a few spots ... They tend to fall off on bumpy roads ... The weak point is just two bolts ... The fender starts to bend back and forth eventually failing metal at the bolts

I would check thru Superwinch or Warn winches to see if they offer a hidden winch mount to make it look factory. Most winch mounts have the same bolting pattern for the winch. Otherwise another option is new bumper that has a winch mount.

Maybe, but why dont you put a lift in? They would be very close to rubbing and if you hit a big enough bump the would bottom out on your fenders. If you don't want a serious &expensive; lift check out zone.

I'm no jeep expert, but I installed these when I switched to bigger tires. In now running 32x10.5 - 15. These were rubbing on my original fenders, which are just over 4 inches wide. These new fenders are 7 inches wide. I don't have a lift installed on my truck, but no more rubbing in the rear, but I imagine that the fronts would still rub when turning and the suspension flexed at the same time.However I think your tires are the equivalent to 28's. I think you should be good.

I was concerned about the case slipping off as well. However, after taking a ride for 1500 miles I never had that problem. I have a full windshield and that may have helped in some way, but not one time in 1500 miles did any bump cause it to come off.

Good morning Roy, the lift kit works very well. I did some outdoor adventure [Fly fishing] in the foothills of the rocky mountains. The "River crossing" was perfect: Sheap river, Oldman river, Livingston river, etc. Jeep parameter: Grand Cherokee 2005 [Laredo] New Tires : Goodyear WRANGLER DURATEC 265/70/17 [perfect for ALL TERRAIN] Installation : Rough Country 664 2-inch. [1 day ca. 12 hours installation with a friend and 10 beers; I'm not an mechanic...] I have absolute no exceptions with this lift system. My Jeep goes and goes, for sure. Be careful on the highway with "bigger" tires [Calibration of the speed...]; you think your speed is 105 km/h in reality your speed is 112 km/h. Best regards Ralf Ps.: In November I'm on Vancouver Island, so ...there will be a lot of dirt...

The bumper didn't make much difference but the winch lowered my front end slightly....maybe a 1/2 inch. I added a 1/2 inch coil spacer and it's level and holding for over a year

It sounds like it os yout compressor. You could try replacing that or I reccomend just buying aa new kit....they dont cost that much plus then you wont have to worry about a tube cracking as soon. I have mine in a 1985 Bronco...it sounds great.

It fits the stock TJ bumper, it makes sense if the Warn bumper uses the same mounting as the stock bumper then it should fit.
