    How did you mount it behind the valence? I have the same length and I took it to get installed an they said it wouldn't fit.

    No it would be way too wide. 2nd gens can handle that size but 42" light bars are perfect for our trucks. 50" is pushing it.

    3" lift 31x12.5x15. Lightbars.....
    Here's what I've got on my truck, I've got a 42" lightbar on the roof I made my own brackets. Mounted flush led pods in the rear bumper. (They are a must have!) I have a 20" hidden behind my new grill/valiance guard. And I now have rigid d2 midnight edition as ditch lights, plus my underglow/rocklights that are too bright to take a picture of.

    Doooooope. That light bars up there tho! Although it still looks good! Time for some retros now?;)
    Also, how hard was it to cut into the bumper for the rears? Planning on doing those eventually..

    I cut the bottom valence and welded two small pieces of sheet metal to the frame. Then using the mounts provided with the light bar I mounted it to the sheet metal. Lmk what you think!

    Where did you guys get your LED light bars from? I've been looking for LED lights bars and kinda leaning toward those.

    None. Yet.
    Nothing fancy, but put a 20" LED bar from Amazon on the front of mine last week. Makes a huge difference, but obviously can only use them when no incoming traffic.

    Seriously need to look at upgrading headlights to something better than stock sealed beams to get more actual usage out of better lighting for driving at night.

    Cali raised has some nice light bars, if you're on a budget I would suggest Amazon!
