    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    The main bracket is only 25" wide so you can't get a 30" on the dropdowns. You can however mount a 30 in there if you have a light with sliding mounts on the bottom of the light.

    I ordered my BAMF Bracket this week can't wait to get it .im waiting to get my bracket before I get my light so I can measure what size I could get. I would like to get the Opt7 22 inch but not sure if it will fit. Also about how long before its gets shipped to me? Thanks

    Is there any depth restriction for the center mount? I'm leaning towards 6" KC Pro-Sport's... which are 4.5" deep.

    edit: looks like I'd need at most 2.5" behind the mounting stud/hole. Doable for the center?

    Sorry, was wondering if anybody could give me an answer on this. Looking for the depth between the center mounting hole of the BAMF bar and the radiator brace.

    I thought that the brackets went under the bar I just got one but the weather has been cold and nasty so I haven't got mine in yet? Is the way you have it the right way or is under the way?

    That's not my picture - it's from the OP. I just drew a couple lines on it.

    I don't plan on using those LED brackets, but I would imagine it wouldn't matter if they're over or under - as long as they're tight.

    I know there has been a few guys to install the 7" HID's so I'm sure you would have enough room for those as long as your grille will allow it.

    I know it has been stated that 20" is about the maximum size for a light bar, but has anyone successfully put in a 21.5" bar? It seems to be a fairly common size.
