    I'm trying to install a bumper. The bumper goes right across where the (oil?) cooler is. I've heard of people relocating them backwards for bumper installation. Do I drill some news holes in the bracket and move it back?

    The bumper isn't all the way on and I don't see where I can put the cooler.

    OP- I had to make some brackets, used some aluminum sheet cut into 3”x1” with holes drilled 2.25” apart. Grabbed some hardware from the Spares bin, install was simple. The lines need to move 1.5” aft from the factory position to clear properly, the 2.5’ apart is for bolt/nut clearance. For the lines on the pass wheel well, the bracket is offset/crooked to allow clearance for bolt and to keep the line away from the frame(prevent rubbing/chafing).IMG_5220.jpg IMG_5219.jpg IMG_5218.jpg .

    I’m sure every brand has different clearances, this is what mine says about the cooler and lines….basically bend as needed.
