I got them on my truck but don't have any pic's though it's still in the works.

With the flip kit on 30in tire they are 5in away from the ground.

Do you think you could get some pics up for us? Maybe some with a tape measure showing clearance and how low they hang from the front mount?

I've been doing some measuring and I have 5 inches of clearance from the bottom of the leaf spring up front to the ground. If that front bracket is smaller than 5 inches I should be good to go.

With 5" of clearance, should be more than fine. My cross member before being raised with 27.7" tall tires was 2.5" off the ground with little issues

Josh @ SRD emailed me back saying that the axle bracket is 4-5" tall so i would have to have a total of 8-9" between my current plate and the ground for me to feel ok with running this setup. Also said the bar should be about 32" from eye to eye for my truck.

I hope no on takes this the wrong way or that I'm trying to sway you from buying these bars, but, if you're worried about whether or not these will work because of your drop, you're probably not going to get the most out of this product anyways. If that's your main concern, the cal-trac that you know fits, will probably work just fine

I am more worried about DD with the bars on and the DR setup i will run at the track (28") if they hang too low for me to run at a lower tire pressure then im going to end up cutting the track up bc of the bars.

And I'm worried about the front bracket hanging lower than my frame. I scrape my frame on things all the time and I'd hate to drag these too. But I think I'm going to be ok and I'm going to take a shot at buying them. If they hang too low I'll just have to sell them.

My iphone sucks at night, I took the 5 pic's none of them in clear. I attached one at least this is the front mount.

Measurement are 5.5 in at front mount and diff mount was 5 in and keep in mind my truck is lowered 4/7 with 30in tires
