the CARR light bar is designed for the main bar to be cut down to the proper width needed. You cut so much off each side to get to the desired deminsion. That way the light holes are centered.

the CARR light bar attaches via the gutter. If your truck doesn't have a gutter on it, they have the gutter mount kit just like the KC light bar had. It is an extra $25.

Pricing looked pretty good on summit racing. Others may know of places cheaper.

It'll be cheaper to make your own if you can, but Wayne makes great quality stuff if you can't. I'll be getting mine off eBay, everythings cheaper on eBay!

Oh i think the Slimlites will look great on there, they should be just out with the bumper. I bet if you talk to him he can alter the tabs a little bit so they don't stick out as far.

I really liked my 150w Driving lights. They were crazy bright and turned night to day.

I would recommend driving or long range. The KC fog lights aren't gonna do a whole lot. I'd say if you can only have one pair, get a set of driving lights. If you can have 2 pairs, either get all long range or a set of both driving and long range.

130W titanium slimlites FTW btw...
