    Slim? 2 row? 20, 21 inch? I had a 32" that went behind the stock bumper and obviously it had to go and am looking at bars that will fill out the gap nicely without breaking the bank.

    Did you ever get any answers on this. I have the same bumper and was wondering this when a diode dynamics add for a light bar popped up.

    Not yet unfortunately. Someone else replied with rigid, and I saw that baja works but no confirmation other than high end brands.

    Any single row light with a mounting width of 21-22" will work. The tabs are long enough that they can be bent in or out a bit to fit about any single row 20" bar. They do not mount right at the bumper. They actually mount a couple inches back so the mounting tabs have plenty of room to spread or squeeze. Your overthinking this. Buy whatever 20" single row bar you want and it will fit. Especially if it is a high end light bar. If one high end light bar fits on anything, the other high end bars will to. They are direct competition to each other. They want their light to fit where the competition does. Who cares about the cheap knock offs. A good companies don't see them as competition, they are just cheap bars that people buy because that is all they can afford, not want.

    I tried a 22" and it was too big, even with bending the tabs. I've seen people use 20" bars but had to use washers to fill in the gaps. It looks like 21" is the closest fit.
