    @JLee .. how do these work out if you’ve stacked washers in your PB bumper for more fender clearance?

    I had to drill through the hole for the lower back bolt. The factory frame has a straight through hole but my bumper didnt. The streamline may be different. It only took five minutes with a 20 volt dewalt and some cheap metal drill bits.

    got mine this morning, sat 6/29. one side mounted. enlarged a PB front slot, and bent the frame ear just under that bushing mount. came up one big washer short. have to go find a source for big washer prior to mount other side.

    having just mounted onto a PB today, i'd think you'd prolly want to unstack the washers. in terms of the two lateral forward frame bolts (OEM) there is enough bolt length through the bumper mount to accept the slots in this product. and if your talking other washer stacking location...i have no idea.

    Just did a little test fitting with mine. If you have a SSO slimeline it looks like you'll have to remove the extra side brackets to get these to fit.

    I didn't take any pics, but I found some online from @Hodakaguy that shows the fender bracket that is in the way.
    I actually ran my bumper for a couple months before I even put the brackets on my truck.
    They basically just add support to the fender. Really woundn't be too big of a deal just not to use them.

    If the gusset clears it you just be fine with that. The gusset is the only thing that sticks forward on the brackets.

    Digging these brackets. This is a Brute Force Bumper. I sold the Brackets that came with it to a local guy that did not have Resi mounts. All I had to do for these was drill a hole on each side of the bumper that the Horizontal bolt. EZ.
