Well guys, I find myself with a head scratcher here. First off, Slee did awesome getting the bumper to me before Christmas and I like the look a ton. But I'm running into the problem of the solenoid bracket doesn't quite lineup with the mounting holes on the bumper. Is there something I'm overlooking here? I'm showing 8 1/4 inch center to center on the bumper mounting tabs but 9 3/4 inchs on the solenoid bracket.

Aren’t those two tabs for attaching lights?
Wild guess here- Does the bracket match up to the fairlead mounting holes? It definitely isn't supposed to mount to the tabs you are trying use. Those are for lights, flags, antenna(s)
When I purchased from Sleep, I told them which wich I had, so they said they had to make a bumper for the winch to fit. I don't know if that makes a difference or not

Huh interesting, what is your distance between the center of the mounting tab holes? I'm using a 9.5 comeup on their list of winchs that will fit and I confirmed that it would fit with them, but this solenoid brack/mounting tab seems to be my debacle. The solenoid box mounts perfectly to the bracket. Here is a picture from the top and it looks like the driver side tab is closer to center of the bumper than the other and I have some interference with the license plate bracket with the bumper itself on the same side.
Its dark out so took some quick shots. Looks like from end to end is 11.5 inches and hole to center is about 5.5 inches.
