@BKennedy @Fix4Dirt Forgot to specify, my front hitch receiver is flipped, so no more clearance lost than with a skid plate. The Curt sits back in there pretty far, so as to hide completely behind the bumper cover (right about where the little air deflector goes around the radiator). I have the newer bumper with round fog lights, so the bar hardly hangs lower than my fog lights, if at all. That could pose a bit of a problem for
@Metta if he doesn't have the low-hanging fog lights to begin with.
Ultimately, it's down to the individual to decide - to me, the lower clearance is OK for the peace of mind of protecting those little cooler lines.
@Metta, let us know what you decide to do. Those Coopers are lookin' mean!
