Rear bumper brackets different from pickups? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am replacing my late model bumper with a sport bumper. The brackets I have are hitting the body mount. I pulled a bracket off my 4x4 Blazer and it has been clearanced so it doesn't hit the body mount. I assume this is the way Blazer brackets were correct? So I can just remove some material from my truck bumper brackets to make them fit?

I have attached a picture. The one off the Blazer is longer, but it looks like I will still have at least two bolt holes that match up with the frame on the shorter one. I don't want to remove as much material b/c you can see that the one broke at a bolt hole.
