What do you exogate folks do to get the tire bumpers right up to the tire on the exogate? I’m using the relocation brackets (to bring it up and towards the drivers side) and probably as a result to that it’s not even close. Even putting the old ones on top might not get me there. The bottom did look closer.

I think I have seen somebody like Morris 4x4 or Quadratec do like an extended version of the stock one...either that or make a spacer to push it out bit.
 
I’ve used hockey pucks for spacers in the past. Not on an exogate specifically.

You can freeze the pucks in rubbing alcohol and dry ice to allow them to be drilled or cut quite easily
 
good to know, I'm thinking of just trying to attach the old ones on top of the ones exogate provided sort of like the pic where I'm holding it, and then getting longer bolts and some spacer/washers between them as I only need maybe half an inch.. will have to figure out the bottom ones as I'm not sure that'll work. Another project :D. What kind of bolts did you buy?
 
I mounted a 3/4 x 3/4” aluminum square channel to the tailgate then the bumpers to that. My current swing-out doesn't need them.
