Hey all. I have a 2017 1500 Express and I ordered a 50 inch LED light bar to go in the bumper ( removing the plastic insert) under the plate. The 50 inch doesn't seem to give any room in sides to attach mount brackets. Anyone succeed with 50 inch or shorter.

I believe I mounted a 48 on my previous Ram ( 2011 sport) but can't locate 48 inch bars anywhere.

Thoughts appreciated.

I have a 42" curved LED bar in my bumper. It's a 19 classic with the body color sport bumper. It completely fills the gap left behind after removing the black plastic filler piece. I don't think a 50" will fit.

I used the supplied brackets into a flat piece of bar stock. just cut to length and drill holes for the bolts.
