Default Bought a curved 50"bar, need mounting bracket suggestions

What roof brackets would you guys suggest i look at? It's an off brand bar i bought from a neighbor with a jeep, so my info about the bar is limited. I'll try to provide answers to the questions you might have to narrow it down, but i don't know what would help.
Thanks

Not sure if this would fit, but it could probably work easily with some machined takeup spacers since your bar is 2" shorter on either side: http://www.addictivedesertdesigns.co...ar-roof-mount/

Example left to right of cab: ADD passenger side mount -> ~2" spacer -> 50" light bar <- ~2" spacer <- ADD driver side mount.

OLB mounts are pretty flexible. Used their double stack mounts for a couple 50" straight bars. But they claim they will work with curved bars as well.

I've been looking at bars also, I noticed there's 50" and 52". Which one fits our trucks better? As far as mounts there are some on amazon though not sure what would work for your bar. The ones I've been looking at have all hardware included

52" would be a better fit than the 50", but ideally 54" would be the best. Here's a pic of a 54":

This is what I've been looking at. It comes with mounting brackets I assume I need to drill holes in the top of my cab? I can use rtv sealant to help with the entrance of water. It still makes me nervous though.
