Question Rear bumper brackets for short fleet with leaf springs????

I bought a set of rear bumper brackets for a short fleet with leaf springs and they won't work since the rear leaf hanger is in the way. What have others done for these brackets? Thanks

There are two different sets of rear brackets. Are you sure you got the ones for short leaf that are trimmed for clearance?
Put a picture of them on here so we can see them.

I bought a set for short leaf and 4x4 they fit my frame. Be sure to beat the face of them flat so when you tighten them down you wont dimple your bumper.

I found out today at the swap meet today that short 4X4 is the answer. Thanks!
