Sounds like it went a bit like mine. I also used the Rugged Ridge bumper with the Superwinch EPi 9.0. Had to cut part of the frame and also enlarge the fairlead opening.

A perfect rainy day to stay in the garage and do the install. Seems like every
mod I have ever done has had issues. I had to inlarge the opening on the top right side of the RR stubby to accept the Superwinch and touch up with paint. Also had to trim the driver side bumper mount. Then I find one of the 4 bolt holes is off for the winch mount and had to dremmel it out. But finally it is
done. Sorry for poor quality pic.

sigh, overtime has been cut from work so I have no play money.

Thanks for all the replys. I am now waiting on Daystar 1.75 spacers for the front and 0.75 for the back to level things out. In the first pic you can also see
the 1" M.O.R.E. aluminum spacers on the body lift. I am running the stock
Rubi wheels and tires until they wear out then will move up a bit in size.
Here' a close up.
