I guess that will depend on what kind of headlight bucket (is it large or small depth, 8" or 5-3/4") you use
and the mount that comes on it.

good luck,

Not to be negative but I thought the same thing also. I got some Biltwell Frisco bars but they were two narrow. Several inches closer than stock. Didn't solve the eyebrow problem either...
