Default Rustys front bumper with stock tranny cooler

I got the Rustys off-road trail front bumper but when I went to install it it hit the hard lines on the factory transmission not allowing the bumper to bolt up. Anyone have any idea how I can make this work. I was thinking about cutting a slot in the frame for the truck to push the lines back and allow the bumper to work but I don't really want to cut into the truck like that if there is an easier fix. Thanks in advanced.

are you able to reroute the lines somewhere else so not to interfere with the bumper?

They are the hard lines so I don't know how I would reroute them

I have the same setup. All I did was use an angle grinder to clearance for the lines. No problems.

Call Rustys tech support and ask them what they do in that case.

Did you grind the frame or the bumper?

the hard lines fit before the bumper

so the issue is the bumper, so cut the bumper
