Looks fine at that height Chris but if it just sits on the alloy tray, don't expect it to save anything if the worst should happen.

I was gunna say leave it as it's a 50/50 thing anyway. Looks good and not too high, but probably higher than you'd make it yourself.

Considering that you're gunna be welding mounting plates, etc. then i'd cut it down while i'm at it. I've seen guys get caught out cos they're too high to get under low and fallen branches, etc. That's one reason why i sold my roofracks. If you mount lights on top then they're gunna be even more prone than roof lights already are.
