Default N-Fab light bars....

Anyone have a N-Fab light bar? I'm about to pull the trigger and get one, but I just read that they are only designed for upto a 30" LED light bar. Is this true??
I plan on getting a 40" or maybe a 50" light bar and mount it on the N-Fab.

Need input pls..

Thx

After sending Nfab A email asking for clarification here is their response. "Thanks for your interest in N-Fab product. That is correct you can mount a 30 inch on the front and up to 10 inch on each side. As long as you have the cradle or the light bar has adjustable sliding studs to mount to the channel on the light bar you shouldn't have any issue.

Here is a link to our website
http://www.n-fab.com/products/sfID1/75/sfID2/86/sfID3/120/productID/737"

So how do I tell which LED light bar the representative said would be compatible with their light bar if it's over 30 inches in length?

I would look at reviews before buying that. I hear the powder coating is cheaply done.

Actually I've read pretty good reviews about that lightbar I have not read anything negative about the powder coating on it.
What are my other options I don't want to spend $300 or $400 on a light Bar mount.

I'm not sure on the other options. I'm sure it will be ok.

Post pics of it after you put it on because I wanna buy a bar too.

Right now I'm just waiting on the guy from the LED light bar company to email me back and let me know if his light bar leds are compatible with the Nfab light bar mount

I've had the N-Fab light bar that holds 4 individual lights on my truck for about a year now with no issues. It's pretty simple so I don't think it would be easy to mess up from the factory. Also the paint/powdercoat that was on it is just fine. no chipping or peeling at all.

Here's the email that I just received,
"
I cannot tell for certain if the light bar will fit that bumper or not, sorry. I have not tried to install one on that bumper before. I imagine it could be done, but may require a couple tabs to be welded on, or some holes drilled."

not feeling all warm and fuzzy about dropping this kind of coin and not knowing 100% if they're going to fit

just FYI, the F150lift.com guy on here has a picture of his truck with the n-gfab bar on it and PIAA lights. I asked what bar it was and he said the n-fab, but that he thought the smitty built bar was the same and at a cheaper cost (said he sold both brands).

point is, maybe look at the smitty built bars too.
