which brackets? the ones on the outside by the foglights? i already did that, it doesnt do shit.
No you have to remove the whole bumper. Once you have the bumper on the floor you will see the brackets. I think I used 4 washers before you run out of thread with the factory bolts.

Are you just wanting to use some kind of spacer b/t the bumper and the bracket or somehow making the brackets longer???
no just a spacer, if im gonna sled pull, i have to figure a way out to lower my bars down some.
If I hadn't been in a hurry I would have gone to the hardwear store and got longer bolts.
Ya and you can make a step bracket so you can use the top bolt holes and still have a rigid front bumper.
I removed my bumper when changing my tranny lines last week. On my GMC there were 4 bolts that go from the top down in the center of the bumper (2 per frame rail), and then two (one each) at the outter edges by the fog light.
Unless I'm missing something (quite possible), if you space the two outer ones out you will not get the middle bolts in.....
Am I missing something?
