Default AEV snorkle and mopar pillar light brackets

Hello All ,

Does any one know if the AEV snorkle will fit with the Mopar Pillar light brackets . I have been looking at pictures and it is hard to see if here will be enough clearance .

Thanks to All who reply

The Rugged Ridge brackets work with plenty of room....I am not sure how much different the Mopar brackets are.

I believe the bracket fits but the lights don't. If you are putting on a new rear bumper, I think there is some extra metal from the stock rear that can be used to extend the brackets out of the way of the snorkel. I know there is a post somewhere on here discussing the fix.

I am hoping to run the same setup and am curious whether the choice in lights makes a difference. I want LF 170's and I am hoping the unique bracket of the light puts themforward enough that that will work without modification of the Mopar bracket.

The Rugged Ridge and KC style brackets are "in and up" whereas the Mopar and Smitty are "down and out" style. Judging by the relationship between the mounting hole for the light compared to the windshield bolts, it looks like the Delta bracket is somewhere in the middle.

Check the AEV threads and see if you can tell from the pics which bracket people are running.
