How about a side view? Very curious as to the elevation. I'd like to do the 54 curved with as little as possible exposure above the roof line. How much did you pay for the setup? 3w 5w 10w? Looks super clean. I want your fender flares on my 04 ;

38k sounds good. Do you still get the hum or whistling at high speed with your light ? Marco. , being that it's not up above? Are you in Hollywood out of curiosity ? Work in the entertainment biz? Zombie movie? Wow. Sounds fun. I've been around the area . Anyway. So you have the ADD brackets. Seems I should look there for what I'm going for- a 54" curved. My goal is to stay below roof line and have as little bracket as possible . Want it to almost look factory. Been thinking about custom brackets. That's next after I get my front suspension finished. Right now it's on blocks with no front end. Installing a spindle lift myself is a major mission. I'm feeling like a zombie after a 14 hour day of hardcore wrenching... Ya. Thx for sharing. All y'all .
From so cal and ne AZ. I just woke up in the back seat of my truck. What y'all know about sleeping in a f-150? It's like my third home ;

Default 55" Curved light bar with rough country mounts

It it were to cover the top couple inches of windshield without much over roof line I'd be stoked. Anyone have any info on bar span and mounts to achieve this??
Here is my new set up with my new 55" curved light bar with new brackets. I also have pictures of the process if anyone would like to see.
