    Who is running bumper spacers and a light bar in the OEM front bumper?
    I have a Diode Dynamics 42" light bar with the brackets from @memario1214. How can I make this work?
    I haven't ordered bumper spacers yet, but I'm thinking it might save a little bumper chopping. But if it won't work, I guess it's choppy choppy.

    I had almost a fever dream about this, and for some reason came back to it! Lol

    @TRDFerguson did use 2 coachbuilder bumper spacers with my brackets, but I would recommend only using 1. I can get you the spacers too. A single pair will play nice with my kit. Spacers go between the crash bar, and my kit goes atop. My kit could technically be used as a spacer itself as long as you don't mind it getting recessed back a bit. At least I think the support arms will make it around. Haven't personally tried it though.

    Correct, I was using 2 pairs (1 full kit) but had to switch to some lower profile flange nuts to get enough bite on the bumper bar posts, and even then one of them stripped out. I removed the bumper spacers after I did the viper cut and didn’t need the clearance from the spacers.

    I'll let you know, I may just have it cut. I've been too busy working, so this trucks going into a shop. I'm sure you remember the railroad life!
