I have a 1995 f150 and I trying to find the best size light bar and best mounts i found a set of drip rail mounts on swamp donkey lighting but they are 160.00 and that seemed high to me anyone got suggestions??? I am looking at a 52 inch curved but have not decided what the best size would be :help:

I haven't seen any made by a company that mount a light bar the way I wanted so I had to make my own I probably have $5 in them with paint.

several companies make mounts but they are all $150+ (way over priced IMO for what your getting) best way is to make your own, like smcox1 said. you can make a set for less than $15

1 1/2"x1/8" piece of flat bar with two bends super clean and simple no bulky mounts here. They mount in the door jamb if I would made them a little longer like another inch in between the two bends I could've got it to sit lower but my solution to that problem is just add another bar.

I have a 22" on the bumper of my 1990 and I'm going to put a 50" on the roof, I mocked up some mounts that I'm going to build bit most guys (my friends) buy the mounts for jeep Cherokee and modify them. There are a few on amazon
