    Good to know. I wish they had an in-between bumper...I want morethan the low pro but less than that giant stinger. I could always grab the light hoop but meh I'd rather just buy what I want.

    Yeah another issue I have with it is it's height. On boxrockets truck the lights look a little too big and are taller than the bar.

    Like many others said Elite or Relentless are the way to go. CBI looks functional and pretty good also

    3xLocked, lifted, well used

    The lightbar on mine is above the top of the lights so the lights are still protected but it does block the top of the lights a little bit. When I turn the lights on I can't tell that they are blocked at all, there is still a good throw from the lights. Mine are very similar to the ones posted above (which also look bitchin if you ask me).

    With the TG lightbar, you can always mount it more vertical than I did and it will be taller.

    Yeah it is pretty sweet it's 95% of the way there for me. How did it hold up when you flipped your truck? I know it's DOM but I thought it was Chinese or something like that

    it barely bent at all, theres a pic in my build that shows a front view of the bumper and if you look really really closely you can see its slightly bent.. but it helt up real well considering the entire truck tipped up onto the front corner lol
