    Cost about $100 for the brackets.
    Your light should work with all of them.
    Check websites of the names.

    Just make sure you measure your light bar end to end before making a light bracket order. I got a 50 inch straight light bar from Baja designs and it was 52-1/2 inches. I think most light bars will be around 50, but double check. I got the MCM fab straight light bar mounts that come out to 49 inches in width. I ended up getting some help from a buddy to fab up extensions on the light bar brackets for another 3-1/2 inches to make the light bar fit. It was a fun project though.

    Most brackets are all the same cost.
    If you are worried about leaking (I was)
    you can buy a set of door jam mounted brackets like @CaliRaisedLed or @ragofabrication have.

    What is the length of your lightbar excluding the bolt threads?

    Perfect size...if you went with MCM fab's it would fit well if you want light bar mounts that attach on the roof above the windshield. They are 49 inches wide, but the metal is a little flexible.

    This that and the other thing.
    check these guys out. They just started out not long ago so not everything they sell is on their site yet. but from what I have heard they are good people to deal with and their prices are pretty competitive. @tacoma16 has dealt with them before and he may be able to enlighten you on his experiences.

    Lots of complaints about vibration some have to do with lightbar itself... but i would make sure to get solid mounts.
    Lots of wind pushing a 50" bar.
