    The guy asked for information to be sent. Others mentioned them, along with other vendors. Don't be an internet dick because you're a fanboy of one brand. I've got their products and they work perfectly fine and are at a great price. Not everyone wants to or has the money to spend on the "top of the line" products, especially when others have just as good quality at a fraction of the price

    I am far from fanboy. Im just a firm believer that people who rip off other companies product designs and tell others that they own Rago Fabrications is just ridiculous. i want OP to understand that when he buys from Rago he's supporting US vets and to me that worth while. And as far as price i can guarantee you that Rago is cheaper maybe not by a so called "fraction" as you would say but for a good product, and supporting a veteran owned company who supports a company who donates to Vets, the choice is clear. oh and the fact that they don't lie about owning other brands which is blatant disrespect. And if you actually did research youd see the my statements are facts and I'm not just making false claims.

    cheers

    It's not that I don't have money to get top of the line lights. Trust me I have plenty of money to get what I want, but what is good lights? What is the good brands? I'm just trying to figure out what is good and what is bad. Recommendations would be great

    Don't be a douche.

    Cali sent us a ditch mount bracket and it was a Rago bracket, even had the R cutout that Rago uses. No instructions, either.

    Where did they send us for instructions?

    To CBIs website, which is where both companies ripped off their designs.

    So, keep your head in the sand all you want. Just don't come swinging around like either company is masquerading as original products. Chinese shit on both ends, not an original product between them. Veteran owned or not.

    I'm telling you my opinion and when i shop I'm conscious of the people receiving my money. And in the event when i get a better deal in addition to helping good people the answer is clear.

    I feel you, I could pay more money to get "better" lights but I'd rather put that money in to parts that are proven to be better and more crucial to the trucks performance. I've got both the ditch lights and 21.5" lightbar from CaliRaised, and they both have been great products. Their customer service as well is what brought me back and will bring me back to them again. Jake hand delivered my lightbar to my front door without me even asking. Good lights, good price.

    Had anyone got the rigid industries in-bumper light bar? It looks good, but I couldn't see paying over $800 for it when I could get a caliraised one for a little over $200

    That's like comparing a brown banana to a yellow banana.

    Probably, that's usually how anything is. For example: the Yeti cup. I own 4 different Yeti cups, but now ozark trail has came up with a cheap version of the yeti for $10. Probably the exact same thing but I would rather have Yeti because it is a Yeti product. But something like these light bars, I am not paying that much of a difference for a name

    Personally I don't have any rigid products, but a friend does.

    He has 3 sets of pods. 2 GG-lighting sets and a set of rigid Dullies. All spot. The rigid are more expensive that both sets of others combined. I can tell you its not just a name difference. The amount of light and the concentration of the beam is far superior.

    You get what you pay for, and in my opinion, rigid is the best if you're down to drop that amount on lighting and using it regularly...

    I have all GG-lighting products because they support my habit. Weekend off-roading, here and there, plenty of light, and a good lifetime warranty the owner stands behind.

    If I were putting lights on a race car/truck, rigid it is!

    If you use it reguarly, then its probably worth it. I went with CaliRaised because I don't plan on using it all the time. It just depends on how much you want to spend and quality wise, but I'm sure CaliRaised might be decent.

    :facepalm: just buy the cheapest thing off Amazon then if you're not going to use it. Why waste hundreds of dollars on a product that will look identical to anyone who doesn't look up close and search for the name brand?
