Front Bumper Bracket Shortening

I'm assuming the only way to bring the bumper in closer is to shorten the bracket and chop off some of the frame...just looking for confirmation.

Re: Front Bumper Bracket Shortening

I think the frame houses two of the six bolt holes though, so you'll have to figure that out as you will be cutting them off.
