11xx driver mirror in lower position

[rcamacho]

I’d like to run the drivers side mirror in the lower position. Do I need a different assembly or mounting tabs?

You need a different bracket for the lower position

Found what I was looking for on GP browsing.
Looks like the lower bracket is:

PN 12342137 Angle Bracket 5340-01-314-1956

When I raised mine up I changed the upper bracket and the lower was ok

Upper and lower spots use different mirror heads. You can use the same one, but it may need to be at an odd angle

What mirror heads should I be looking for for lower A2 position? NSN?

The lower heads have a notch on the side as seen here , down near the top of the lower glass....

I changed my mirror from lower to upper and didn't have to change a thing. Are the brackets really different? I think it's just the mirror head.

The upper bracket for the higher position is shorter and less angle than the bracket for the lower position. If you look at the lower hole on the body you can see how it’s further forward. I also replaced my mirror head and it doesn’t have the notch. Action helped me find the right one for the higher position.

Mirror installed in lower position with new bracket. Looking forward to seeing how this works for me when I get the 1151 road worthy. In the upper position I found my LT turn visibility excessively impaired with mirror adjusted to TM. In the lower position I seem to have much improved forward LT visibility.

Looks like I need to re-adjust the mirror positioning relative to the frame. I'll do that next.

I don't think I have ever seen the mirror head mounted forward of the tubular part.

Post #4 pics is adjusted really close to the dimensions given in the TM. Forward of frame doesn’t look quite right.

Repositioned pet TM. I may move mirror head a tad but it looks spot on.

Ideally, with the doors on, you want the mirror head as close to the truck as it can while still being able to see the whole mirror head. The further you have things out the side of the truck, the more likely they are to get hit.
