Anyone with an Expedition One Trail front bumper....

...and hopefully the Rubi skid too? I'm going to be putting this on my 2015 JKUR soon and need to relocate the Vacuum pump. The Evo kit looks good, but uses the same attachment points needed for the Rubi skid, and the skid itself will prohibit its use cause pump interferes with plate. The E1 offering won't work either...I have a Spod and ARB dual compressor where their bracket would go. This RH 4x4 one just turns the pump from verticle to horizontal mount, and pushes it rearward like an inch or so. Also no hacking or rewiring of existing pump hardware required for install.
Anyone use this setup with an E1 trail can tell me if it works with the bumper/skid setup?
Here's the link for bracket...

I'll even take educated opinions :)
Here a few pics of what I'm talking about:
The E1 Rubi Disconect motor skid system...

...and the stock mounted vacuum pump on the '12+ models...

...and after the RH4x4 bracket ( with the stock mount forward ear shaved off and pump rotated horizontal).
Looks like it's all above the swaybar, but is it far enough "back" to not interfere with trail E1 bumper anywhere? I don't have bumper yet to measure/tell. Any thoughts?

You have to install the bumper first then see what works. I don't have that bumper, but found out that flipping the vacuum pump cleared everything for me.

I ran your exact setup. I used the Teraflex relocation. It mounts up on the firewall, so you have room for the SPOD.

Thanks guys, but I didn't see any responses for a bit so I just ordered it. I hope it's not as easy as your suggesting Mike, or I just wasted $30! I'll to flip it first and see if the bumper clears, so at least we'll know...
