Hey guys. I'm looking into getting a light bar for my 2012 Ram 1500. When I called Trick Trucks they said they have a 54 inch double row led bar but they can't seem to find anyone who makes mounting brackets for my truck that they could just bolt it right to my roof. F that!!! I did some looking but not sure if the brackets I found will work with the light bar they have. My question is, anyone know of a place for me to buy a 54 inch curved light bar complete with mounting brackets?
I want a good quality, good looking, bright light bar.

You want to mount it up top for the look I assume? You can fit a 42 in the bumper that looks way better in my opinion. Also have heard of rattle issues with the bars that are roof mounted. If that's what you're looking for there are folks on here with them that I'm sure can help you out.

I have a 50" curved below the bumper, I think it looks pretty cool! It's a Reckless Industries light bar.

I can t answer your question but I approve of the light bar on the roof.

I know two people that have RIGID curved lightbars on their roof and it came with the mounting brackets. You can get black and white I believe for the brackets. They mount inside your door well. 3 rivets on each side i think.
One thing I know about them though is it will light up your dash and possibly give you a horrendous glare from your hood and dash. One of the guys has a tinted front windshield so it cuts down on the glare considerably compared to the other guy's.

Also, you need to be aware of the noise issues with mounting one on the windshield/roof.

agreed. I have a 50" roof mount and it is noisy as all hell. I love the look...but looking back I wouldn't have done it had I known all this.
