Ahh, OK. Thanks for explaining that. I didn't have any fitment issues with my Steeda brace, but I have been contemplating changing out to the BMR for the ground clearance. On my non-PP, I expect either brace to be a pretty huge improvement.When I installed it last year I sent my concerns to steeda but it fell on deaf ears.
1: The rear spacers which go into the OEM brace tube for the rear mount bolts were about .250 to short and thus if you torqued the bolt down to their spec, it would bend your brace way more than I would allow.
2: The rear section cross bar came into contact with my A10 transmission lines. I had to bend them back and wrap with Chad tape.
3: The front two mount barrel ends which go into the OEM front section tube brace would not go into the OEM tube without the use of a long pry bar.
4: The front two barrel end mounts hung below parallel of my sub frame and I did not like that.
So I just installed BMR four point brace and it fit flush, I like the way it mounted.

Good Luck.
