    Fitment of the bumper is spot on, however there is one major design flaw that I noticed. The face of the light bar cut out angled pretty low to the ground and doesn’t give you enough room to adjust your light bar much higher without cutting off the top portion of the light beam. Also the center “RCI” cut out does block the whole center section of my DD stage series light bar. A fix for this would be to slot out the light bar mounting brackets to allow the light bar to sit lower in the cut out when angling it higher.

    Looks great! I have the exact same light bar on my bumper and have the exact same issue as you. To get the light beam to point at a reasonable angle (not too high, not too low), I had to position the light bar pointed up which makes the lightbar look uncentered in the cutout. Also the bottom of the lightbar is hitting the RCI logo, preventing me from angling the light bar any higher.

    Yep my exact same issues. Not sure if it was designed on one that was lifted 3” in the front or what lol. You literally can’t even see the beam if you have the light bar centered and flush with the cut out.

    Did RCI (or has anyone else) come up with a fix the front lightbar slot alignment issue?

    I've seen a few posts with guys encountering alignment issues (saying that the slot angle is too low) with their front lightbar in this Pike Bumper. Did you run into any issues with the lightbar cutout slot and not being able to properly align your lightbar? I have a 30" Morimoto lightbar that I'd really like to use in this bumper, provided that I can align it correctly to see down the road.

    Looks sweet. I like the metal ears, making into a "full front bumper" kind of look. I wonder if those would fit my C4 LoPro bumper.

    I ended up not getting the wings and instead went with a modest Viper Cut to compliment my Pike center bumper
