I’m struggling with this rear bumper compared to their instructions. There is a huge gap on the STC coupler and the tail gate side won’t fit. Has anyone else had this issue?

I tried to do just that & it was too tight to see anything without taking it apart & I'm not up for that anytime soon. That's why you got the spare picture .I rec’d no rubber washers. The instructions said aluminum washers but it would require at least 4 and the bolts won’t fit through them. 2k bumper….
do you or does anyone else have pictures of the coupler installed?
That gap is intentional and there to allow adjustment for a body lift. In your parts bag you should have two aluminum spacers to fill the gap. They go above if no body lift and below if you have a body lift.I’m struggling with this rear bumper compared to their instructions.

Man, where was this video a 1 1/2 years ago ?Couple other tips: 1. use super lube grease inside the rubber bushings and on the rubber surface between the bushing and the metal bracket and the aluminum spacers. 2. it is a tight fit to insert in the bracket but is supposed to be that way. 3. Don’t tighten the pivot bolts on all the way or even insert one all the way until you get the pivot adjusted so that the swing arm is firmly against the rubber bumper pads. Then insert the second bolt all the way and mount your spare. This bumper is awesome but definitely is a learning curve for the first install. I also recommend watching Ex One’s video for a jeep install to help:
