    Thank you for everyone's help tonight for additions and input on the thread. I will continue to update this thread tomorrow for the 3rd Gen section so stay tuned. If I have time I might go back and also do 1st gen options.

    Don't forget to do the poll if you're already running a ditch light bracket.

    Great write up! :thumbsup:
    The thing we at "CaliRaisedLed" try to on excel on is our ditch bracket/light combo set up that's one thing we do differently than most of these companies. We get you the bracket and light combo set up for an affordable price.

    I have a set of the SDHQ brackets with BD XL Pros on them. They are very stout. In addition I have a snorkel and had to re-drill some on the passenger side just for clearance. Wasn't bad, didn't mind re-adjusting. It's clearly a very well made product. My .02.

    Thanks for your input @Theloraxcross. Could you take a picture with the snorkel and bracket so I can clearly note and show the modifications necessary to run the combo.

    Is that your truck @Sleipnir? I had to do a lot of searching through TW and Google for the correct images to show all the brackets?

    ...if it is yours do you want me to remove it from this thread or no?

    It doesnt say how they mount, or if there is trimming involved.

    But it appears to be the style that mounts to the cowl and needs trimming...

    Nice!! Looked at the post and noticed my CBI ditch brackets made the cut on the OP. :thumbsup:
    Really like the way mine sits and wanted to do something different so I reached out to CBI and they were easy to work with to get them powder coated white to match my white Rigids. I think it was an extra $10-$15 and they came out really nice!!
