front bumper bolts
What size are they? Trying to find longer bolts to shim my bumper out with.

go with (4) 1/2" X 2.5"
and get some 5/8" nuts as spacers. They are approx 3/4" thick

Are we taking the hex head grade 8 bolts at lowes and will I need to buy the nuts to make those work? I'm thinking 3 nuts on each bolt to bring it out quite a bit. That should eliminate any future issues.

Yeah, just regular bolts. I would not go more than 1" out or it will look like complete S H I T.
Trim the inner comers if you need to

I was wondering about that. It's really hard to find pictures of bumpers spaced out.

I already finished doing it. I was able to move it up and out so I got a ton of clearance. Better than ever before.

Yes, different setup. I just figured it could help give the general look in relation to the body.

It's really hard to tell that I even changed anything unless you're looking for it.
