      I hit another suv in the back and bent my bumper into my bfg all terrains and couldnt drive ive tried to pry it back out with a 2×4 piece of wood. I now have to change my front tires and new BFGs wont fit due to the tight squeeze even with the worn ones.

      What way should I fix this? Is there any way to take off the brackets without taking off the whole bumper? Please help me! I’m in much of need! Thank you very much — a Blazer lover.

      Hey @Blazerman – welcome to GMA!

      I’m not personally familiar with the Blazer’s actual body clip setup, but I think your best bet would be to take the bumper off and adjust/flatten it out from there. You’ll likely need to take the wheel well lining off to get to the clips… how comfortable are you with that kind of stuff?

      Chain the front bumper to a 40ft crane ……. then let it feel fall 30ft. The front bumper should then clear the front tires.
