I think they use washers as spacers on top of the rebar to level cheap crappy fitting aftermarket bumpers

your going to have to install the kit without a rebar if you want it to fit proper or you will have to cut the kit/rebar up a bit to make it work.

I added spacers(washers) between the rebar and bumper it fits perfect on the driver side but the passenger side there is a gap between the fender and the bumper
