Review: FM Frame Rails

[BoBo]

KFJ, didn't you post a pic of a damaged butterfly brace recently? Maybe that was on facebook...

I heard about ground clearance issues with the Butterfly, but never saw it in person. Would love to see pics though. I could be wrong but I remember Keith mentioned how the Butterfly brace was no lower than the FM rails but at the same time I'm hearing negative feedbacks of how the B-brace was scraping and catching things on the ground. Can someone shed some light on this topic?

The butterfly brace has height adjustment but of course your exhaust size/setup will dictate the height. I currently have a stock exhaust and could raise mine some but not much and it is lower than anything else. I am currently lowered to approximately 4.5"F/4.75"R pinch weld heights and the butterfly brace scraps on speed bumps or similar road elevations. Here is a recent pic to illustrate:


NOT slam friendly for sure...any road kill bigger than a squirrel will get a hair cut or worse.
