Yeah, it was definitely wrong. But I flipped it and still don't see how to get it right. I'll have to contact Ben tomorrow.

Basically when you undo the hose, that screw will go into the top open hole holding the hose in your picture of it backwards and there is a carriage bolt in the frame that will use up the other visible hole. The other three of course go where you have them. But yeah man the builder will set you straighter than I can...

Here's a pic of mine installed. It sandwiches the recovery points with the frame attachment.

Pretty sure I have driver's side on pax and vice versa. will take a look tomorrow.
I noticed, looking back at some pics on an earlier page - what is this? I laid out my parts last night and don't see this.
Edit - I think I see that on top of the bumper in the pics above.

Yes, that goes on top of the bumper where the side piece, recovery piece, and main piece go together.

Will this bumper fit a 12 or 15k Ramsey Patriot winch?
I installed my bumper early this year, but never wired up the bullet lights or the cubes. Is it safe to assume they don't require anything special? I saw the link for the switch mod, but I don't plan to do that. Can I just tie directly to the existing turn signal wiring and fog light wiring? I've seen talk elsewhere about LEDs requiring relays, but it seems like that's for larger lights (like headlights).
I didn’t get the bullet lights but the cubes I just used the original fog light wiring. They aren’t crazy bright. If I remember right, I cut the harnesses off the OEM fog lights and used them.
Square light to fog circuit. Highly recommend the switch mod to run them when you want. Bullet lights I ran to running lights. When headlights are on.....so are the bullets.

Interested in buying my bumper? I have one for sale.Got me very old thread
Still working on lifting it for now. Wheels and tires are next then bumpers.
What is it and how much?
I really struggled with the install on the rear today. It just didn't seem like the shocks lined up correctly. I had to connect the bottoms and pull the tower bolt through in order to put them on. I did notice that I have 2 supports? Connected at the top of the rear Diffrential setup as well as 2 lower supports? Trailing arms I believe. I purchased a 2.5" lift front 2" back. In the kit with a panhard bar also came 2 trailing arms and sway bar extensions. I am assuming the trailing arms are for the Bottom not the top? While I was in there I took a wire wheel to all areas and hit it up with some higher temp primer then a coat of good black paint. The bottom of the shock was just plain and simple a different angle once seated in the tower. I had to pull back the shock good 1-2 inches to get it up through the tower. I'm hoping that once I install the trailing arms tomorrow it will somehow line it up better? Though in my head I don't see how. I also noticed with the kit the dimpled punched out rubber dished caps didn't seat in the holes on top that isolate the shock from the tower. The bottom fit but the top dimpled hole was bigger than the hole in the tower. John at IronMan said to just install it rubber on top of tower with a cupped washer facing down and then the bolt. Any input is appreciated.
