Nice find. Cheap way to gain that extra clearance. Definitely be looking at these if I have issues clearing the 285/75 on my BL. Thanks!

I’m surprised Ford doesn’t do something like this instead of removing them all together on some of the applications.

Confused how this “upgrades” safety given that bars already exist from factory?

Agree. I highly doubt these have been crash tested to the extent of the factory ones.

If retaining or increasing OEM safety standards is a concern these are not a viable solution.

I agree, but if you’re hell bent on bigger wheels then this is better than the alternative of removing them altogether.

Confused by this too since Sasquatched Broncos have the OEM beams as well

In their defense, they state that you “Retain the safety and security benefits of occupant protection” with “Notched design increases tire turning clearance”.

I think this is an upgrade to removing them.

If you remove them for clearance, then they don't do much in your garage. With these, you can still have bars with more clearance.

No. The bars are removed with the sasquatch package. Legend confirmed this. A simple search of "crash bars removed with sasquatch" will give you the necessary citation.

Also on the BL stock 33's, one bar is removed. Edit: @Philly has documented that the BL stock includes both bars.
