I just mounted my new 52" LED light bar. did I go too big? I'm thinking of returning it for a 48" or 50".

I'd rather be too big than too small
I hate an led bar being shorter than windshield.

I sent it back and went with the 50", can't tell much of a difference. but now it's loud as hell going above 70 mph. is this normal for a stand alone light bar?

Considering mounting 54rds to Tacoma are there even brackets made to fit or is it just too damn wide?
