Rear bumper bracket length?

I have a 2008 rear King Ranch bumper to put on my Excursion. It has the longer brackets. I accidentally threw out the factory Excursion brackets. I was hoping someone here knew the length of the Excursion brackets. I am going to just cut down and re-drill the longer brackets to fit.

I just sold some on Ebay but might be some more in there.

For anyone else that might be looking for this in the future, the magic number is 5 1/2" shorter than the Super Duty brackets. Chop the bottom corner of the bracket off to give yourself some wiggle room.

Not much to see. In person the color match is a lot closer and it looks like it belongs on the truck. It is coming off in about two weeks when it is replaced by a set of Buckstop bumpers.








Next step is to make room for these; 37x13.5x18 Toyo Open Country:
