![]() The brackets will flex a little bit so as long as you are close it’s probably OK. Your goal is to get an overall length of 28 5/8” when attached to your light bar to match the radiator framing. They were originally an L shape but I put them into a vise and with a hammer made a second 90° bend in each bracket to make a “Z”. (See photo) If your light bar doesn’t come with something like this they’re available for about $8 on Amazon. I had some 3 inch mounting brackets laying around the garage that were left over from a different light bar. I’m not making a specific recommendation for a product but you’d like something in that 25 to 26 inches overall length range. It’s listed as a 240W 6D light but I’m not sure that it is any brighter than other 100W inexpensive light bars that I have purchased in the past. Although I have yet to have one fail, many of the cheap light bars don’t have the best reputation for reliability. I plan to keep the second one around as a spare. I paid $51 to my door for a pair of them. There are already holes predrilled so this is a no drill installation. The grill itself is about 26 inches wide and once I got under and looked at the metal framing on either side I found a mounting point measurement of 28 5/8” wide. It is out of sight except when the light is turned on. I looked at possible mounting locations and behind the lower grill seemed like the cleanest option. I will walk through the steps I took so others can have another project to keep them busy during the stay at home time. ![]() This last weekend with the COVID-19 keeping me stuck around the house I got busy with installing a light bar on the front of my 2019 2500.
