That looks very good! Those tires/wheels really toughen up the look of the X.

I think stock X's always look like they favor the wife & kids about 60/40 over the dad. Yours (and other X's with lifts) look like dad shifted the ratio. Now yours looks 60/40 in dad's favor.

Are you rubbing front or back... or both? If front, instead of trimming the bumper, you can space it out forward for clearance. Just find soome plate and drill a couple holes.

Tires

I am running 35x12.5x18 Toyo M/T on Mickey thompson Classic II 18x9 . Fronts rub a little on the leaf springs when turning tightly but really no real problems. No Bumper trimming needed.
