Tried to install the 12k Ironman winch to my ARB Bull Bar and the ground stud hits the the front of the bumper. What was your solution to get it to mount flush? Grind the stud down or possibly grind in to the bumper?

I have this exact setup with the 12K Ironman4x4 winch. I used the square spacers for Superstruts (from Homedepot). The spacers are magnetic so they stay in place. I also used longer grade 8 bolts to reach the mounting nuts of the winch.Tried to install the 12k Ironman winch to my ARB Bull Bar and the ground stud hits the the front of the bumper.

Hi Guys,Did you figure out a fix, or can you ‘clock’ the winch / solenoid pack to move the stud like you can with some other brand winches?
If it’s still a problem, might toss a pic or 2 up to see what’s going sideways for you....
