<div class="bbWrapper">Sleekster appears to have a pretty good looking light bar setup. This one can mount the 4 round lights or a bar. Has anyone had any experience with this specific part or have one you like?<br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/20201205_094138-jpg.9081/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/9/9081-a92ff04129087c5e4d9874aa0d8e0ffd.jpg?hash=qS_wQSkIfF" class="bbImage " style="" alt="20201205_094138.jpg" title="20201205_094138.jpg" width="150" height="265" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m interested in getting this myself, and I&#039;m wondering if it interferes with the front parking sensors or front camera. Can anyone confirm? <br /> <br /> It looks like it should clear both, but I&#039;d like to find out for sure before ordering it.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Maybe this isn&#039;t the direction you&#039;re going, but why not consider a brush guard? I installed a SteelCraft guard on my 2500 and I like it alot. Plus it&#039;s added protection against whatever deer/wildlife jump out in front of me. I paid about $420 for mine and did the install myself in the driveway.

<div class="bbWrapper">Whoa!! Wish I hadn&#039;t dragged my feet. <br /> I think I am gonna hold off for a bit. This thread getting revived had me planning to purchase this week.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Wanted to order one of the Ellis Light Bars yesterday on the Black Friday Special to get the discount on the lights.<br /> There is two different styles of this light bar posted on their website. One that is even with the bumper like in the picture<br /> of the black truck and one that is quite a bit above the bumper like in the picture of the silver truck. Was hoping the <br /> Customer Service at Ellis could tell me what light bar I would receive when I ordered but the girl didn&#039;t seem too<br /> interested in finding out for me. Guess I am going to have to get one made local because I want a bar that is even with the<br /> Top of the bumper like the black truck. Anybody know of any other options?<br /> <br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/ellis-jpg.47848/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/47/47848-78b89582d75cb9fdafe56041df731c38.jpg?hash=eLiVgtdcuf" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Ellis.jpg" title="Ellis.jpg" width="150" height="199" loading="lazy" /></a> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/ellis6-jpg.47853/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/47/47853-5950082d20146dc7a7ba7f503e360f80.jpg?hash=WVAILSAUbc" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Ellis6.jpg" title="Ellis6.jpg" width="150" height="172" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">yea, price is a little steep. Install seems fairly easy, other than removing the front bumper.<br /> <br /> I was looking at them. For $500 less, you could get the regular lights and build your own bracket and wiring instead of using their custom bracket that goes on the ends.<br /> <br /> BD make some good lights. Also been looking at KC as well. <br /> <br /> Been thinking about bending my own bar that mounts to the bumper, old school pre runner style. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I’d just assume have their brackets for since I don’t fab. The wiring though I will adjust as I have factory AUX switches and will leverage that. <br /> <br /> <br /> Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</div>
