    Does anyone know if the brackets for the lower bumper will fit in with also having a Westin light bar mounted to the same bolts? Two brackets off same spot? I want upper and lower light bars. Will have to relocate my plate.

    They are pretty long bolts on the crash bar. However I have no idea where or how the Westin product mounts. License plate relocation is pretty straight foward.

    Oh, I see now. Might have to figure out your own bracket. If there's a will, there's a way!

    I am a bit late to the party, but if you decide to pursue a lower opening light bar I have modified one of my bracket designs so the plate would sit lower, below the bull bar.

    Here is a link to a post in the sale thread where I modified the design so the plate sits just below the bull bar. You can ask @Salty_Dog how he likes it and what he thinks. It was an interesting process figuring out via PM and email how to modify the design to work but it turned out well.

    Did you drill the mounts into the crash bar? I have a 20" Heretic light bar I got a smoking deal on, but I am trying to figure out how I want to mount it.
