It's been measured, there will be a 6 in bumper segment on the front of the sides, it will be entirely legal.

Our testing used forward/backward quickly, long stretches of driving, and vigorous motions to try to throw the chains. So far, this chain set up has really impressed me, previously I have been told you need 120 degrees of wrap around a sprocket for it to stay on, but this has proven that wrong, so far. Chain tensioners will not be necessary due to the extremely tight chains that are on it currently. The frame is very sturdy, although it appears weak due to the hole in the front, that is conveniently about 24 inches wide, I don't know why it would be that wide? hmm...
Yeah, I realized the bumper piece could be longer a while after I posted but w/e. Any reason you cut it to 5 instead of 6?

We actually did the same thing as you, but we cut ours to length and installed it and then I remembered the 6 inch rule, and measured it, luckily it was 6 inches exactly, so this is why I noticed.
