    What is the best way to get the ARB bumper level and the proper distance from the fenders? Mine is on there, but isn't as square as I'd like.

    I was thinking some 1/4" spacers and using the floor jack to gently raise the bumper to the fenders, tighten, and then drilling the lock bolts.

    What did you guys do?

    You want at least 1/2 inch gap between bumper and fender, or they will rub and rust. Leveling it, just go around and measure the distances btwn bumber and fender on both sides...

    I loosened the hardware just enough to where I can position it how I like. Once it was to my liking, I re-torqued everything.
