I think most others will wise up and not run an ARB. A lot of us have made that mistake already, myself included. Don't get an ARB D2 bumper.
Fill that gap with those Beach Boys cds...
I had a quick look at your profile and in that picture you can actually see the lower ramp that feeds air to the bottom of the radiator and a touch of the radiator body as well.
BTW, did you find that your truck ran slightly hotter with the ARB? I ask that because without covering that hole the compressed air can escape down instead of the more resistance path of passing thru the radiator body.
thanks in advance for a reply and if you can post that picture on your profile i think it might help others visualize the potential issue.
good to hear however you did not have an issue

This is huge, like stuff a 40lb dog in size hole.
But it doesn't have a winch, it doesn't have recovery points, and it resembles this
Otherwise, what are you worried about? You admit that you don't really "off road". I've never seen someone damage a radiator that has an ARB installed, especially when they're not doing much offroading.
Those aren't recovery points, btw. ARB will tell you that
Yep those holes are meant to bolt a highlift adapter to it. Not recovery points.
Stock bumper seems to work fine for this guy. Honestly, if you're not rock crawling or extreme wheeling, the stock bumpers, sometimes with a mod or two are great. They don't look like catchers masks, are light weight, cheap to replace, and can accommodate winches with the proper mounting kit.
This is quite a unique form of measurement. Like everyone mentioned, ditch the ARB and get a Bottorf. You will hate the ARB when a 40 lb dog or rock gets stuck in your radiator!
Clever ARB. Look exactly like recovery points to sell bumpers, but by the time they find out ARB is long gone with their cash.
