    I have the Prinsu rack and just got the diode dynamics 42”. I have brackets from Prinsu and from DD. Which brackets should I use? Does anyone have any photos how theirs is mounted? I’m a little confused on which brackets I should use or combine the two or what. Any helps appreciated.

    You will most likely need to modify the brackets with a step bit. I did to mine and it still wasn't a good angle so I bought some pre-fabbed brackets from Cali raised for a Prinsu.

    Which brackets did you modify? The Prinsu or DD?
    I’m thinking maybe just getting the Cali brackets. They seem to be it

    I had to modify the shit generic bracket that comes with most all lightbars. Get the Cali Raised brackets and call it a day :thumbsup:

    UPDATE:
    I ended up trying again after work last night, and got the light bar mounted up with the prinsu brackets. After observing it, I ended up removing one of the side screws on either side to be able to rotate the load bar, to get the screws into the channels. Then I tightened everything down and put it all back together and it worked out pretty well. Tonight after work I will drive home and aim the bar where it needs to be and then tighten the side bolts down all the way.
    I used all the hardware from the prinsu brackets, and then two screws with lock washers from the kit provided by DD; I ended up using both hardware from both bracket sets. Hope this helps anyone, I could always take photos if anyone needs help with this specifically.

    No, but if you'd like me to take some and share, let me know. Got about an hour of light left.
