brhea21, how about post some pics of the KC light bar when you get it installed. I put the N-Fab and 4 Hella's on mine and the jury is still out.... Not sure I like how far the lights stick out in front of the bumper.
Im thinking about cutting the tabs off the front and putting them on the back ...carefully... and then plasti-dipping the whole thing. But I don't know. What do ya'll think?

I wasn't sold on my light bar either, but it has since grown on me and I like it. It was on the truck with some cheap, crappy lights and I didn't like it until I swapped the lights for my PIAAs.

For all the headache you're talking about, I'd have to cut my losses and sell the N-Fab on here and then buy the KC. I considered that at first too, but like I said, mine has really grown on me. I get people asking about it a lot and complimenting it.

I will Deff post pics when I install. It will be after the lift install on Wednesday. And I really had a tough time picking between those 2 bars. I liked the NFab (especially the price) but in the end it was all about the tabs being mounted in the rear that sold me. But Honestly I have seen both and both look good IMHO. Also, because of the Light Bar being more, I had to get the KC lights as they were cheaper than the PIAA that I wanted. I will upgrade someday.

Hey what kind of pressure are you all running in your 35s? The people who install mine put about 35. I went to have it aligned again and the guy there said I should run my nittos at at least 40 psi so he pumped them up to 42 and I feel like it rolls a lot easier. What do you all think?

Well I slapped the Lights and Bar on real quick just to shoot you the pics (not going to wire everything up till I get the lift and stuff done) but everytime I try to upload it says upload fail. Im not really sure what else to do. Anybody have any ideas.

brhea21, Thanks for the pics. I like the looks of the light tabs on the back of the bar. Yours also shows me what the N-fab will look like plasti-dipped (matte black).
I think I'm gonna modify the N-fab because I like the way they did the brackets on it. Then I will call it a M-fab ( M stands for Mike )
I bought it off of here for $90 and thats a long way from the $350 that KC wants for theirs so I think I will make a project out of it.
I will post pics when I'm done.

I am happy the pics helped. I got it for 289.91 on amazon. The plstidip would look good or.....you could get it linex. Just a thought. I know people have gone line x crazy but it does add a nice texture. Good luck with your project and you deff have to post pics when done. Or even a few as
u work.
