The extra 2.5" in height from the new axle made
me feel secure in installing something hanging down on the bottom of
the belly skin. They're still higher than the axle and the bottom
of the tanks, and the rear ones are far enough forward not to strike
sidewalks when exiting gas stations.
Worried about striking something with one while backing
up ? That
is why I recommend the lag screws that come with it as opposed to welding. I've
seen one of these get ripped off (not mine). It pulls the bolt
out without damaging the frame, and you can reinstall with a larger diameter
lag bolt.
