    So I ran into a problem earlier today, I mounted my LED bar up on a light rack I recently bought and I thought it was high enough to clear most of the roof... Well I was wrong, about half of the light is wasted on the roof so I need to have the LED bar sit a little higher. My question is does anyone know I'd they sell the side mounts (triangle looking mounts) in different sizes/lengths? Seems that it would be the only simple fix to the problem, what do you guys think?
    How it's mounted:

    Showing the light:

    oh damn that sucks! you mean the light standoffs? I have never seen much in the way of replacements nor different sizes.

    you could drill and attach directly to the bar? it would gain a bit more height and move it forward.

    Damn, wow no shit huh trigo, you're losing alot of illumination, depending on how its mounted you could get some 3/8" all thread, cut a couple pieces about 4"-5" long & dbl nut it high & low to raise it a couple inches, it'd be ok for a temp fix probably...

    Yeah it IS warming up out there kinda quick, night run would be awesome & it'd be Reagans last trailing until he gets back in a few months, where the hell is Andrew ?? Is he in on this ??

    I thought of that but currently it's attached to a separate piece of tubing that allows me to adjust the bar up an down
    Like this:

    I think I'm gonna hit up Tyler and see If he could make and weld on some mounts similar to the one Chris has on his bumper, to replace the plastic mount and it could me made a little taller. Idk though, there's a group buy going on for these and I might just pick up 5 and mount them how the previous owner had them (Jeffz0rz) and put the LED back on the bumper

    Those 2 big tabs off the bar are like 2$ a piece. You could cut them off and weld on 2 new ones vertical instead of laid back like they are. Should get you another 2" in height. or lop em off, and make some longer tabs. say 4-5 inches.

    Hmmm definitely a possibility, do you have any pictures of the light rack with the 7" HID's you were running before lit up? Can't decided if I wanna just buy 5 of those (around $350 in a group buy) and move the LED bar back to the bumper or keep the LED bar up there (after raising it) and buying another LED bar for the bumper (between $200-400)
