There is a small pump located between the forward frame area. This pump may interfere with aftermarket bumpers and/or winches. Currently LOD makes a relocation bracket to accommodate their bumpers.

I saw another relocation kit but i dont remember where. Then you can use 07-11 front bumper.

I got mine from LOD with my new mid width bumper. They will probably sell it separate if you call. It only seems to need to be moved to accommodate a winch. Most bumpers should clear it if they don't have an integrated winch plate.

Mopar- bolt it on/ fits well
LOD- relocate bracket for pump
ARB- bolt it on/ fits without issue
AEV- bolt it on/ new winch mount plate

These are the ones I ahve seen used so far and noted what others experienced when installing.

...and here's what it will look like on your 2012 (mine shown with Warn PowerPlant Winch -- the two extra tabs welded on the front are my tow points for towing behind my motorhome).

They were able to take the stock bracket, cut/bend it a little, and remount the pump slightly to the rear and out of the way. They didn't have to alter the winchplate or bumper. It wasn't a big deal for them. I can probably get a couple of pictures showing it.
