Default Need help with rear bumper...

I bought an Aries Rear Tubular bumper (part # 15501) and the bracket doesn't seem to line up right on my 2015 Rubicon JKU. Has anyone else had this problem. Were you able to fix it? If so, How?

It might help everyone if you had a picture of what does not line up. I assume you confirmed it fit your year prior to getting it.

I figured out what needed to be done after stepping away from it for awhile.

So what did you figure out? Post your experience so other who buy the bumper know what to look for.

Sorry about that. It was a case of bad instructions and frustration. The instructions show the bracket going on the outside or it looked that way (bad pictures as well). For my model, however, it needed to slide into the frame. From there it was very simple.
