Front bumper mounts bent to hell...trying to install tie-in brackets

4 Attachment(s)

So I have a problem. For reasons beyond my knowledge, the front bumper mounts are bent into the frame. I've just received my tie in brackets from JCR, and I need these to be in their original position in order to install them.

Any tips on how to resolve this? They are in pretty rough shape...

I doubt this is an option, and a stupid question - but how necessary are those mounts once the brackets are bolted in?

Thanks!

Piece of plate on side and a BFH. I had a similar issue on mine and I just loosely put the front L and the main bracket on. Then I hit with the impact and it synched right down.

I think that's the way to go. The last thing I want is to lower the structural integrity of these mounts. Thanks for the help!
