Ok, got a few pics for those who don't know what they look like or how they sit.

This is the front bar(if you can't tell)


Plenty of clearance over the alt.


And this is where MINE hits the hood. I never really noticed it before cause I don't look that far back in the bay. But I DON'T get any hood bulge from this and my hood sits flush all the way around.

I adjusted all the bars that were purchased in the group buy, so they shouldn't hit the hood. For those that want to adjust their bar, I put a 1 x 2 board under the bar by the alternator clearance area and jumped on it once. I suggest putting a rag over the bar so you don't scuff the paint.

I think I'm going to wait on the feedback coming from those with the adjusted front bar before I make the purchase.

No problem, I'm interested to see if the adjustment allows the bar to clear the hood too. I feel that it will since I tweaked them pretty good.

Yes it does, I adjust the front bar now so it should no longer contact the hood.
