    @JeffP213 would you mind measuring the height of the bar if you were to mount it on top of your rack? I'm trying to fit it underneath mine. Think it would??

    Are you just asking for the height of the bar itself? All the dimensions are on their website. If that's not what you're asking, let me know and I'll try and get a measurement for it for ya

    I have the mounting bracket horizontal instead of vertical. The only downside to that was only having one screw hole I could use, but it's on there pretty damn good. It's no taller than the actual light is which is about an inch.

    I have 2.5 inches between my roof rack and roof. Will it fit? I just measured.

    I have my brackets in line with shape of the light. Meaning the mounting point is actually behind my light. I wouldn't think, even with mounting the brackets above or below the face of the light, that it would be taller than 2.5".
