    Do the Caliraised brackets allow for behind and under grille with 2 different sets or can you only use one or the other?

    I have the 32” lightbar bracket on the lower bumper. Looks great and well integrated in our trucks but light output isn’t much better than high beam. My opinion is that the placement is just too low. Planning to move it up to the main bumper instead.

    Yes, most people get one or the other. But others get both!

    I installed this 21.5 inch behind the grill and it performs decent. I like that its behind the grill and not easy for someone to take. The install was not too hard either and I like that it's not plugging the air inlet on the bottom grill like others have done. Worried that may cause issues for cooling those componenets.
