I am installing a set of Fox 2.5's on my 2021 Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel. I have a Fab Fours stubby bumper already installed. There is a little difference between the bumper and the frame mount. I figure a spacer would even out the mounting surface, but I was wondering if anyone has this configuration, and specifically wondering how they secured the mount for the remote reservoir. Just want to make sure I'm not putting the reservoir too far out where it can get damaged.

This might better illustrate the question.

I ended up tapping the fram for some M6 bolts and then using aluminum spacers. Thinking about making a guard for them, but have not done that yet.

I ended up drilling through the plating of the lower protector and then the frame. I used the self threading screw on this hole. On the middle hole I used a rivet nut insert and a spacer and M6 stainless bolt.
