    The 73 mounts stick out 1 inch more than the 70-72 mounts. Also the lower quarter extension is different.

    We are using the mounts off the 72 both front and rear so I suppose that's why it appears to sit flush, we didn't use any 73 parts in the swap except the bolts

    That must be some good dope you're smokin'. Comparing a 4x4 stance on a car to a paint color selection...as if one has anything to do with the other. Why don't you just drive a truck?

    You may have missed the point of my post. personal preference. Some people may not like the stance of the car. I do. Some people may not like baby blue paint. You do.

    Correction, we did not use the quarter extension's, we used the front stone gaurd off the 72, I actually sold the quarter exstensions off the 72 along with the 73 bumper just today.

    I'd probably be offended by that if it wasn't so true.
