Did you just bend it to clear or did you have to move or modify the brackets too? I don’t have any problem with bending it I just want it to look clean and of course not break.
Any help is appreciated.
Also on a side note I did end up ordering the TNF recovery points with the frame tie-ins.

So initially I just bent the AC line back. This seemed to work, until I rubbed a hole in my AC line back where it crosses the bumper back towards the radiator...
Right way to do it is to disconnect the center bracket (the one the instructions have you cut) and bend the AC mounting brackets until the AC lines fit behind it. Then, if there is anywhere your AC lines are close to the bumper, get some rubber hose and jacket the line so vibrations don't wear through the metal.
Just wish I could find a reasonably priced rear bumper...
