Looking to buy a Rough Country Black bull bar with LED light for my 1500 Bighorn. Concerned about it interfering with the front sensors. Any thoughts on this? Was thinking I could maybe disconnect the two sensors that I think will be affected so the other sensors would still work. Park in tight spots and like those sensors.

I wondered if you couldn't move them to the bar.

If you disconnected the 2. Could this throw a code to the computer or cause other issues?

I agree with buddy above here about moving them to the bar possibly. I’d get another set and leave the ones in the bumper where there are. Then somehow extend the wire harness to reach back to your factory wires.

Westin sells them now with a kit to move the sensors to the bar. If you don't move them and install the bar you will definitely have an issue.

Perfect! I'll look if they sell the kit separately
