    I installed them with a 30" single row from sidetracked. The sidetracked was a bit narrower than the rough country bar, but after installing the brackets I was able to put a pry bar on them an bend them over enough to make it work. All in all a fine bracket that works and saves some $ over the others.

    It looks good for those states that do not require front License Plates.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Rigid makes basically the same thing. They bolt right onto the crash bar and you have to cut out the lower part of your grill. Here's a pic of mine with the rigid mounts.

    Yeah I'm trying to decide which ones to get, rough country has lifetime warranty on theirs and they are 20$ cheaper, I mean I'm not going to sweat 20$ just trying to figure out which will be better, I'm pretty sure I'm also going to go with a dual row led and I believe both of those will still support the dual row.

    I bought the dual low ones for my 2013 and it didn't fit so i went with the single. I think the dual ones will fit the 2005-2011 grill.

    you will not be able to fit a dual row in the newer lower bumper like yours. The single row bars are a tight fit.

    Yeah if you really force it in there you might be able to shoe horn it in. But I wouldn't want the plastic touching the cooling area. It needs to jet out a little more from the grill and you might be able to get it in.

    Which kind of led bar did you get? I was just going to get a cheap eBay one for now, is it hard
    To change the light out if I were to get a different bar at a later time?

    I bought a nice harness, mounts, AOB Switch and cheaped out on the light. I think mine is from Mic Tuning which is like 120 bucks from Amazon. I figured I can just replace the bar in a couple years if some of the lights go out. The bar just has a couple bolts on each side so swapping them and re attaching the wires is a 5 minute job. Although if you go cheap on the light go buy new stainless hardware. Mine has been on for about 6 months and already showed some rust. I swapped out the bolts and sprayed them with some rustoleum this time.

    I can do that, I was thinking just an eBay one for now and if it breaks they are cheap enough to replace
