bumper brackets

I bought a step bumper from LMC and purchased the required brackets that were listed. I watched a video on youtube and they are using the same brackets. problem is, my truck doesn't have all that space to fit the bracket.

what do I do now?
I'll try to post photos.

Re: bumper brackets

Yet, another circumstance in which I realised how dumb I am. I don't know why it works out how it does, but everytime I post for help, I end up solving my own problems.
Thanks anyway!

In case anyone was wondering... the brackets went inside the frame as opposed to the outside frame. The video I watched showed brackets installed on the outside.
Universal brackets I guess.

Re: bumper brackets

Still need a few adjustments, but I am exhausted. I'll get back at it on Monday.
