"[You] can bracket the front from the mounting holes (arrows). Doesn't need to be parallel to the ground, but does need to cover the front corner."

You should be OK having the bumper angled up with the front of the threads as far as Robot rule 4.2 R2 goes. I believe bumpers can be 4-12 inches above the ground, if I am not mistaken.
With R2 you are correct.

Now my question, how would you go about getting 8 inches from each corner with the threads in the way? We had the idea of an L bracket, but without having the treads with us, we are not sure how easy this would be.
