Yes, it looks like it was designed for 7'' headlights, the 5.5'' quads are unhandy sometimes. [I have a '71 Jimmy, too.] But you could mount foglamps low on your rack and longthrow spots on the top rail to compensate for the hi-beam blockage. Have the spots on the Hi Beam circuit. You want to run low beams with foglamps. Hi Beams kick back too much glare in fog.
that not good. I hope it can get back on the road after 20 years. I was born in 1998
i thout about somthing like. I think the long throw lights would be plenty. And just run low beams in fog. They work pritty good on thare own.
