Bumper spacers?

I just replaced my stock front bumper with a turbo bumper. The previous owner had installed spacers which I assumed he did to clear 35" tires with the 4" lift kit. I noticed yesterday that when I turn, the tires rub sometimes. (1994 F150, 4" lift with 33" tires)

Do I have to put the spacers back in? I'm concerned that if I don't when I go to the sand dunes I could really have some problems because the suspension will be working more than on pavement.

My other concern is that I want to mount a Ranch Hand brushguard and with the bumper sticking out an extra couple of inces, I won't be able to mount the guard without some fabricating.

Any help appreciated!

Sounds like you have to pick between spacers or trimming your bumper.
