can the front bumper be moved?

i have an 01 F250 with about a 4" lift and 35's on it. They are pretty wore down and im about to get some new ones. I noticed that when i turn the wheel, the outside edge gets VERT close to the edge of the bumper, and im wondering if new tires wth new tread, Even though the same size, will rub?
Now, i am going to be getting new wheels too, and im sure the backspacing will change because im not going to run a wheel as wide as now.
Can the bumper be moved forward? If so, how and how hard is it to do?

not difficult at all. remove the bolts near the tow hooks and install a spacer. when i had 35" x 12.5" tires on my truck it rubbed the bottom corner of the bumper. i just trimmed the bottom of the bumper.
