Do these brackets count as the frame? Does frame perimeter have a vertical component?
Considering your bumpers must be in contact with your frame perimeter i believe it is safe to say that your frame perimeter must be within 2-10 from the floor. And yes it could come out of this zone but some of your frame perimeter must be in this area to hold the bumpers.
