    I had to remove my old rear bumper because it was all twisted up. I bought a grinder today so I could grind these bracketts that were welded on to the bumper and frame. I finally got the bumper off and put the new one on. After I put the new on I noticed I had a 4" gap between the bumper and the body. My Bronco has a 4" body lift so I am guessing the brackets that I had to remove to get the bumper off were used to raise the bumper up 4". Is there a way to fix that lik flip the brackets on the bumper or eeld some new ones on. Any advice would really help right about now. It looks very ugly with that big gap. Thank you.

    as far as i know, your best bet is going to be to fab up some new brackets.
