i've heard mixed things about bull bars affecting clearance. Some say it's noticeable, others say it's minimal. Might depend on your driving habits and terrain? Just my two cents.

Thanks for your input. I do 95% street driving, and was hoping the loss of grourd clearance would not be to bad.

I applaud their efforts, but those mounting brackets hang down nearly as far as the wind deflectors in front of the tires. Which I constantly drag on parking curbs,,,,,

Yes, the mounting brackets are 2+inches lower than the truck, that is the part that concerns me. Can i live with that 2+inch loss.

I need something like this, but all I'm seeing are more like "nudge bars". I need a full on Aussie bull bar for the local deer (over) population.

I was looking at larger brush guards but the install was more involved. The broadfeet install video showed a easy install.

I decided to get them and see how they fit. They will be here in less than a week.

I installed the Broadfeet Bull bar today. It went well and i was happy with the end product. I test drove my maverick and had no problem with ground clearance. After one day i am happy.

follow up on Broadfeet bull bar after day three. My maverick handled spreed bumps and inclines just fine. I love the look of the bull bar and it works with the Keko sports bar.
