Default Light Bar

Thinkin about getting a light bar, but wasn't sure which one to go with. So I'm looking for some opinions. Do I go with the roof light bar or the roll/light bar that sits behind the cab? And why?

Thanks
Bubba

A roof bar will need to be a Gutterless Mount and they tend to slip at highway speeds. Anything in front of the grill will get hit first. A light bar that mounts in the bed would be the best. But they are expensive and you loose bed space.

How far past the front bumper is a Bull Bar? How much lower than the bumper is a Bull Bar? It decreases the angle of approach. It is the first thing that gets hit.
