Default Rampage Rear Recovery Bumper Owners.....Need Help!!!!

Purchased a set of rampage recovery bumpers for my 2013 Rubicon 2dr. Front went on nice and easy....great fit!

Went to install the rear bumper last night and couldn't. The bumper brackets didn't meet up with my frame brackets. They missed by about 1/2"-1". This was with the bumper all the way up as far as it would go and hitting the body under the tailgate. Not sure what is wrong but it seems that the bumper brackets are in the wrong place.
Has anyone else had this problem???? Are there spacer brackets or parts that I'm missing????
Any insight would be great!

I bought their rear recovery bumper years ago that was full of problems. I ended up welding it in place. I was very upset with their finish on the bumper too. Paint was flaking off within months of buying it.I think they may have skipped the whole priming process. Good luck with your bumper and hope it's works out for you.
