I hope it'll fit up my driveway. I'm going to have to find out the clearance in mm so I can test it.

I have the XR50 front on mine, i still stock height. I do find the front does scrape more than the old XR front bar, but i just go very slow when going over speed bumps or entering & exiting drive way. It's only the bottom & no way can see it unless the get down on the ground & look under the car.

Its not only the height or ground clearance that is the issue with these bars. The main clearance problem, or more precisely the lack of it, is the length of the overhang in front of the wheels. And also because the bottom of the bar is square to the nose i.e. no taper
Ford Oz had to get special permission from Ford US to allow this bar because it is outside the usual minimum parameters for approach angles. No doubt it was only allowed due to the limited build numbers of the T Series I had to put some more concrete at the bottom of my driveway to lessen the angle off the road
