Re: Bumper height

You may modify the base using standoffs (or risers).

So brackets would be necessary if you planned on using the kit chassis with no modifications. As long as the bottom of your bumpers are not less than 4" off the ground you will be OK.

A couple of years ago my team used a custom chassis, but the bottom of it was only 1" off the ground. We used brackets to lift the bumpers into the bumper zone.
