I didn't read the fine print, "Will not work in conjunction with the Ultra Plate (SMA-8GL34-00), sold separately."
Has anyone modified this bumper to work with the Ultra plate? Not sure its possible without hacking it up.
Or am I returning the bumper / changing skid plate?

Bring the bumper back unless you never intend to use the bumper to move the sled! Beautiful bumper but not engineered to be lifted with, lol.

You can lift all you want on it. Just do it near the center.

Possibly a simple answer to this one but how do you get the bolts in the upper mounts with the plastic nose cone in place. Not much room in there.

There's enough flex in the plastic to get a socket on the bolts. It's not bad getting the bolts out but putting them back in can be difficult. I've had the front of this sled apart so many times I've considered drilling a hole in the plastic to gain better access to the bolts.

Yeah I was also considering drilling a hole. So a little elbow grease and she'll go. Thanks.
