Help!!! Smittybilt Winch not fitting on red rock bumper

[HellaJL2817]

Hey everyone... I appreciate you helping me. I’m trying to put my Smittybilt 9500 xrc winch on my red rock bumper and I saw on extreme terrain that sometimes it’s a tight fit and some fabrication may be needed because the jl stickS out about an inch further than the JKs grille.
I’m trying to think? should I take the rolling winch plate that came with the Winch off. Should I take the winch plate off off the bumper and get a metal plate that would extend it out and bolt it on? I don’t know if anyone can help me out greatly appreciate it. I saw it is possible I’ve even moved the motor on the winch to the top because the wires were in the way so I made it vertical As opposed to horizontal and I’m still tight for space.

Sorry I can't help. Can you change out either the bumper or the winch so that the two components become compatible?

So I went ahead and got x4 steel 3/4 spacers and then I just got longer bolts for the adjustment. It worked. Hopefully well. I was gonna get a winch riser but this way worked as well.
Tomorrow I will finish the wiring and setup. I’m glad it fits (snug)..

Plus I had to turn the winch plate bolts backwards front.
