Rough Country 30" lightbar

Great thread dug up from the past....4 years ago

 

Absolutely....Again, pertinent and valuable info for all to read. Great stuff

 

Hey Everyone,

I had this bar added 2 weekends ago. I have noticed going over bumps and what not that there is a squeak coming from the bar and/or brackets somewhere. Anyone else have this problem? I can replicate it by bouncing up and down on my running boards. It's not the suspension at all as I had that looked at already. Somewhere the bar/brackets are making the noise.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or hear this squeak after installing. Thank you in advance. Going back to the shop soon to see if they can remedy it. Just super annoying hearing it constantly.

Same as above with RC 30” light bar.

 

Just wanted to follow up on my post about this squeak I was hearing. As you can see in the pictures below: the drivers side bracket was touching part of the frame. If you look at the passenger side bracket it clears the frame easily. Not sure what happened with the install (had a shop do it) or if the bracket was came wrong but that was the culprit. Took me 3 weeks to figure it out (took it back to the shop and they could not find the squeak; took me and my dad about 1.5 hours before we found it). I ended up using a crowbar to bend the bracket way from the frame and putting some rubber between the bracket and frame. Squeak went away completely.

 

What brackets did you use?

 

Is it a rago bracket?
