Not in the plans at the moment, just got the 50" SR up there a few days ago and I'm extremely happy. 18,000 lumens just from that is an impressive amount of light, i can't imagine what over 40,000 lumens from the 54" would be like.

I just ordered a couple sets of dually's/d2's, and I already have a few sets. So I'll be bright enough for now. Maybe I'll do a 50/54" RDS when I figure out what I want for a new truck.

The 30" SR2 is rated the same as the original 50" I think. The 50" E2 is absolutely insane.

I'm going to try to get my boss to put one on his truck... He won't want to but... It's worth a shot.

Agreed! That would be amazing to see in person. More importantly though I'm looking forward to your combo set up, glad to see RI is taking care of that issue for you. Keep us posted bud!!

It's pretty easy to splice in enough wire to run to the back from the existing harness. I used some old Monster speaker wire I had a spool of, and ran it down from the engine bay along the frame and zip-tied along the way. For up into the engine bay and up in front of the rear tire where I made splices, I additionally covered the liquid tape with plastic conduit.

I've had to add wire to each harness I have (three, I have each set of Rigid's set up to be independent). I really wish Rigid would make their harnesses longer but it's not big deal to do it myself.

A quick update:

Got the white 30" SR2 driving/hyperspot late on Friday, got around to installing it earlier today - it's a lot brighter than I thought it would be.

I have a retrofit pair of HLs, if you've seen the output of those, you know how intense they are, now imagine you can't even tell they're on...

With low beam, you see they're on to the left and right, but straight forward, nah, you can't tell. High beam is noticeable, but very dim in comparison.

I'll hopefully have the 30" amber SR2 by Friday, potentially Monday - had to send it back to Rigid for repairs, had a bad LED and was getting VERY hot.

Once that gets here, I'll have both 30" SR2s all set up for a video, I'll get some pics of the white one tomorrow day/night to show how insane it is.
