    I've noticed all high clearance bumpers move the fog lamps higher, often much higher, than OE bumpers. Generally, the high clearance pertains only along the tire track of our Tundras. There is little to no higher clearance produced through the center-line of our trucks. That being what it is, why don't manufactures incorporate mounting places for fogs closer to the center-line, where they can be closer-ish to ground level, where fogs are supposed to be?

    Because I'm interested in a Coastal bumper, here's what I'm talking about. Why not have fog mounting options here?

    Good point. Fogs need to be mounted as low as possible.

    Yah, I get it. Though, I never see anyone with these bumpers that ever hit rocks up that high. I'm sure there's a person or two, but every single person with one of these bumpers has an infinitely higher chance of driving in fog than taking off a fog lamp on a rock.
