    Other. N-Fab light bar. I just like the look so much.

    Second choice would be the Avid

    Personally I don't like light bars... I have the Aries bull bar, and I love it.. but flip a coin when in doubt.

    I say the N-Fab or Defiant light bar.

    I have the N-Fab and the Defiant is pretty similar but it curves a little more to the shape of the bumper.

    It's all personal preference but I really like the Crossfab light bar. I really like the N-Fab bar too and have heard good things. The difficult part comes when you decide to pick out lights.

    I vote Avid. But I'm a little biased. One thing I like is that it is beefier than a bull bar in a wreck but can still hold 4 lights.

    It's all personal preference - At the end of the day as long as the bar hold the lights where you want them and you like the bar that’s all that matters.

    bull bars are weak and are for "old man" trucks. You lose front end ground clearance with them too..
