I am contemplating cutting about 1 1/4" from the front of the two rubber bumpers on my '17 Hawk in an effort to move the position of the camper forward in the bed. Currently, the bumpers (3") create a space of approx 2 1/4" between the front of the FWC and the front edge of the truck bed. I'd like to reduce this to approx one inch or so.
Should I try to buy new shorter bumpers or can I just remove the one inch by sawing or cutting it off. I'm wondering if the 'bumper' has any metal 'skeleton' or framework molded into the rubber (for strength). Any idea what a new shorter set would cost? Has anyone tried cutting the bumpers before?
TIA for all info!
