Front bumper question

[TommyD11730]

Ok, so my front bumper and brackets were delivered today. I'm going to pull my winch bumper off to tonight.

Is the easiest way to hang the bumper is to first mount the 4 brackets to the bumper (no impact strip) then mount the bumper with brackets to the frame.

Or do I mount the brackets to the frame, then the bumper to the brackets?

Thanks!!

I've found it easier to have the brackets on the truck then put the bumper on and adjust it

frame = brackets . all hardware loose .

bumper to brackets .

wiggle and adjust as needed . then tighten up good n tight

Thanks guys. I couldn't recall if there was room to get your hand between the filler pannel, frame to access the bumper to brackets nuts.

Correct placement of tow hook?

Well it's on. Used all LMC parts with the exception of the bumper guards and their hardware. Replaced all their hardware with decent grade 8 stuff.

Sticks out a little more on drivers side then passenger. Not sure if it's the center brackets , or if I need to slot the frame for the outer brackets.

Good enough for me right now!
