Any strut tower bars that clear cj intake manifold without modification

[Alcarames]

Anyone know of any strut tower bars that will clear CJ intake mani without modifications?

Yes, the one that comes on the Boss's which is the same silver one that came on certain 2010+.

Had it on my 2013 with the CJ intake an no clearance issues.

Here it is with the part number:

Hmm, so you didn't drop your motor or have to use washers for the bar to clear? How close was the fit? If the engine moved around would it make contact with the bar? Thanks.

I think BMRs clears as well, not 100% though

No dropping of the motor, no washers and to the best of my knowledge motor never moved around and made contact with the bar.

That's good to know. 5.0 magazine had an article where they dropped down the engine and installed the Boss STB.

I heard the Boss 302 does just fine. However, I've only seen maybe less than 5% of CJ Intake owners needing the washer trick done, and even that is like a minimal height spacing.

Thanks for the replies folks, and Greg I see the picture in your avatar but it's small. Do you have better pics of your engine bay? Don't mean to be a pain. Thanks.
