Maybe I used a thicker piece of angle iron but I dont have any issues with the lights bouncing on mine.

Thanks for posting this just finished putting mine in and I have no bounce at all so that's good and the lights I got work great behind the "H" bar style grille I'm getting a few more lights tomorrow

I put them off to the side so it's not behind the "H" part but if I put them behind the "H" part u can put spacers under the light and center it between the bars here's a pic first on with all lights on second just off road lights

Also I think I got smaller lights than what u have I think I got 5 inch KC's and the shine through great I'm about to put two more in the middle of the grille and if u get a extended bolt u can put more washers under it to center it in the middle of the "H"
