    Can you use the 05-11 Cali Raised 32" hidden bumper light bar brackets for the 30" Diode Dynamics light bar? If not what other solutions do yall have? Thanks!

    Not sure about the early 2nd gen (05-11) trucks, but the CaliRaised brackets for the 32" CR bar in my 2014 fit the 30" DD bar I replaced it with perfectly.

    Ok, thanks. I'll ask CaliRaised if they know if an actually good lightbar fits their brackets:rofl:

    I was thinking up to recent that theirs would be "good enough" but then I figured buy once cry once right?

    To answer my previously asked question yes the Diode Dynamics Stage Series 30" does fit with the Caliraised brackets, just need about a 1/4" of spacers on each side. Actual throw of the brackets is right at 32" and the bar at about 31 1/2"

    What bolts did you use. I have a way bigger gap on the DD bar. And when i got something to work the light bar is center of the plastic grille. Can’t figure out how yours is a the top

    Loosen the bolts holding the caliraised brackets onto the frame and slide the light bar up/down.

    I forgot they were adjustable.. but my passenger side is still slightly lower than the other. I may have to take the brackets off and open the slots by a 1/4 to get the light to sit level
