Spot on steve! Its a dupluicate of the og one, kind of by design. I reallu liked the og one except for the frame horns, and the corners. This on has a radius around the body which my old one did not. Oh, and I stepped up to four lights.

None yet Nick, the truck is still a Keifers, he is finishing up the rear air bumps as we speak. I'm assuming 3/8" without the shim in their. I can measure it up once she is back home.

Last post:
So, a SUPER SUPER big hats off to Mark Keifer andS Southwest Performance.
He picked up the Bronco a week ago to do the following:
*Mount Autofab double layer fiberglass hood
*Mount a custom set of Bilstein air bump (custom because they are approx 2.5" shorter in overall length)

What he did:
*Found a broken shim in the rear axle, so took off the shims, and rewelded spring plates at proper angle for pinion
*Re-adjust rear 2 links for new lowered ride height
*Found brake line and limit straps were a little too short, so replaced rear brake line with a slightly longer one
*Re-mesured for proper length rear limit straps
*Adjust EGR tube which was causing a rattle
*Program PSOM
*Tighten header bolts
Washed, waxed, and teflon coated (ok, that was a joke, but shet, that would have been the icing ono the cake with all the other goodies he did for me!!!)
Two more pics of the rear air bumps... still need to remove the aftermarket poly bumps I added (which are for sale by the way)

Got a hood prop from the JY, and had it powdercoated. Fit a clip for it as well. Also cleaned up everything behind the grill, remounted the ballast.
