Is there any way to lower the height of a Surco basket roof rack?

Custom brackets!
If you look at the stock brackets, there isn't anything special about them.
My plan was to bring one to a machine shop/welder and have them make me some that were 1.5" shorter. Or buy yourself some 1/8" steel and cut and weld some yourself. They don't have to have that "fancy" curve to them. Just have two flat sides to bolt onto!

I had to make my own custom brackets. Check out my website on my signature. There are a few pics of what the basket looks like on the mounts. Only about an inch or so above the OEM rack rails.
They are easy to make.
