    leb bar on the front bumper, spot hids or halogen above the cab.
    the led bar will perform much better on the front bumper. and if you need more light after that, thats when you need spot lights on the headach rack.

    IMO

    u think a single row or maybe a double on that rack will be to far back or the top of the cab blocks to much?

    well people usually put them in the back of the cab to avoid the windshield glare, and the lights in the back of the cab are normally used for distance. if you try and point it torwards the ground it will reflect off your roof and you will lose tons of light.

    led bars arent really meant for distance so the best location for a led bar is on your front bumper, and spots up high cause you use those for distance.



    either way will work though and youll be happy.

    it really depends on what you consider "enough light" is.
    if you plan on doing 60 through the desert at night get a double
    if you plan on doing 10 mph through anything else get a single
    in my opinion
