Why don't you just drill new holes and remount it?

but of all the choices you have I'd pick diamond plate

Did you get new brackets with your new hardware to relocate it?


(otherwise Diamond Plate normally lookes the best with matching tool box or siderails)

I like that bumper...with the kit from PA you get the front bumper but not the rear bumper ..they give you two options drill or order the brackets.

Redrill the holes in the bumper bracket and put it where it goes with the body.
