    Just received my CBI Covert front bumper and was watching the installation videos. I am concerned that the CBI bumper side brace and the Icon reservoir mount bracket may interfere which each other.

    Anyone here install the CBI Covert bumper with an Icon suspension that has a reservoir mount?

    This is a capture from the install video showing the side support bracket and bolt that will likely cause issues:

    So thinking I will have to decide if the reservoir mount goes under/over the side brace ... then drill a hole through the brace.

    Note: in my first post I drew an arrow to the round plug ... the bumper actually removes the rectangular plug (mostly hidden by the reservoir bracket)

    For folks that find yourself in the same situation as me, give CBI a call!

    For a reasonable fee they can provide new side braces that have mounts for the remote shock reservoirs ... awesome stuff!
