Hefty fab Bumper Install

[Recon23]

Hey guys, I received my new Hefty Fab Front Bumper and decided today to pre fit it before having it powder coated. What do you guys think?
If I calculated correctly I only gained approx 32 lbs over stock plastic bumper. I was surprised at small difference. Very happy with the fit.

I forgot. I have one question. In the attached photo on the right when I tighten up the bumper it makes contact with that frame attached bracket on the back right. Does anyone know what that bracket is for? I was thinking reservoir shock mount or something? Would it be better to trim that interference off or trim the bumper (bumper folds over I think for strength) don't want to weaken it or let it ride on it. What do you guys think?

Is there anyone that can help with this interference of the frame to bumper problem. I'm not sure which is best to trim. Not sure what that bracket is if anything. My son has a gladiator with similar bracket with nothing installed to it either.
