> While sloping front ends did not reduce the risk posed by vehicles with the tallest hoods, they did make a difference for vehicles with hood heights of 30-40 inches

And these benefits is fairly likely to immediately be countered by a lift kit by the end user, bringing them back up against the 40" problem range. It's amazing to me how often lift kits are added to pickups; amazing as in "it's not actually adding to the ground clearance beneath the diff, it's mostly cosmetic."

Anyways. Good article, but I have serious doubts their advice would ever be followed.
