As you can see those brackets do not drop down where it bolts up. This is what the correct brackets look like.
I noticed you have a 06-08 not sure if it is the same specs because the bumpers are different. Good luck!

Here is a good link to search ALL craigslists.

I got lucky with a free Westin Bull bar and KC Daylighters on another F150 forum. The Dude even drove about an hour and linked up with a buddy in Memphis. My buddy happened to be coming down to FL and dropped it off to me. Just cost me some gas money.

My friends build huge mud trucks with those 60" tires. And no one wanted to help me with my Fabtech. I was going to attempt it, thank god I didn't. The guy on CL was a ford mechanic with lifted jeeps. He had all the power tools and even had to use a torch for a stubborn bolt... I own like 1 power tool lol. So I paid $2400 total for parts and labor. Though I know Fabtech is more expensive, idk what rough country kits go for, but unless you got good faith on your friend. You def want a prof install, could save you from trouble further down the road.

I just sealed the deal on a brand new Smittybilt Predator that I found on Craigslist......going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon! Craziest part about this whole deal is that I never even saw a Predator until four or five days ago when I was doing a ton of searching for pics and info about bull bars. I was pretty much set on the Aries bull bar, black with the stainless bottom, and the wife said it would be a Christmas present from her to me. Then I saw this pic, I hope you don't mind edwards1687, and that was it!
After dumping the idea of just a bull bar and doing some research on the Predator I find out that they were discontinued a while ago and are pretty much impossible to find, damn....just my luck. Minutes after finding that out I typed it into Craigslist and BAM.....there was one, and only a mere 40 miles away . Brand new, never been installed, and for our generation trucks, I couldn't believe my eyes, and talk about a bargain on the price....I usually only hear about deals like these, never stumble on one for me There are a few minor scratches from being moved around his garage, but definitely no biggie....and I'm thinking about getting it Line-X'd anyway. Pics to follow soon after I pick it up tomorrow.....peace!

Just got back from picking up the Predator, or I should say stealing it LOL! It's black, which should look better on my truck than chrome.
Here's one of the brackets, did I get lucky and get the right ones?
