I received the RR HD Stubby Bumper. Got it nearly completely installed...attaching the last support bar. Passenger's side from winch plate to frame. Unfortunately, the Swaybar Diconnect sits about 1/4" in the way of the bracket. Is there anyway to move/adjust the position of the Swaybar Disconnet? This steel bar does not flex.

Have you searched for youtube videos on that one? I did the Arcus bumper on mine and I found the directions to be not detailed enough. One sheet of paper doublesided and that was it. I was able to find left out details going on youtube and having peoples comments give pointers. Things like the skid plate needs to come off before install and then go back on after

Yes. I tried Youtube even tried the manufacturer. The part they sent is supposed to work. Is there any way to turn or adjust the Swaybar Dosconnect?

I have the RR HD non-stubby bumper and the back of that bracket just touches the front of the rubber grommet on the disconnect and I didn't have to adjust anything that I recall. It seems as if the two-hole part of the bumper that the bracket should attach to is a bit further back than needed for some reason.

Well... I went ahead and installed the bracket. It pushes on the rubber grommet a bit. Maybe 5mm worth. Hopefully not going to impede any movement. I am not really sure what purpose that gromment serves. Dealership was not very helpful.
