It's just 2 wires, wait until you have to drill, grind, etc to the Jeep 
. But seriously most relocation kits require/include wire extensions as they move it to the top of the engine bay. Look around for mods where people have flipped/mounted it to the lower side of existing bracket. Hell I tucked mine into the bumper for a few weeks until I ordered the relocation bracket.

Order the bracket but when you get the bumper do a quick install to see actual interference. I did the orfab bracket but in hindsight I think I could have just pivoted it on the existing bracket and made it work without having to cut

I installed the Ace Engineering Stubby and was able to move the pump from mounting on top of the bracket to the bottom if the bracket and gain enough clearance that I did not have to fully relocate it.
