5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

[1BADRAMLIMITED]

My buddy put a M and R single row light bar in his Chevy, and it doesn't even belong in the same area code as what I just installed. It was not cheap by any means, I guess you get what you pay for. I am extremely pleased with the result.

$600+ seems like money well spent! Do they have lenses to change the light to amber or yellow?

I have not seen any lenses or lights from Black Oak that come in Amber.

That looks good how hard is it to get the lower grill out my wife broke ours need to replace it.

It was fairly simple as 1BADRAMLIMITED stated. I have the active air dam and all I did was take the 4 screws out that hold the dam itself and it made it easier.

Holy Shizzle! All I can say is WOW! Here are my photos, low beam with driving lights, then high beams and then Black Oak Led Light Bar! What a difference!

I almost bought the Shifts and Grins brackets last year, but then couldn't decide on a light. Then life got in the way and I forgot about it.

Guess, I should pick this back up.

same here, by taking the airdam off the car, you can freely move under it.

I am still happy with my single row (or have to be) but if I knew it before, I would for sure have gone with a double row light bar.
So that's why I am waiting on those front tow hook brackets that @Shifts And Grins Fab hopefully develop soon so that I can put extra lights on it.
As I am not a fan of A pillar lights on a Limited trim Ram.

Are there any concerns about heat being put off by the bar heating up the parking sensors too much? That's my only hesitation with going with a 30".

We have run ours a ton. We even ran them with the truck at various angles with no parking sensor or light issues...... kind of kidding......but seriously no issues. We have also sold over a thousand of these kits and or brackets with zero issues being reported about the sensors. Early on there were alignment issues with trims but we updated the brackets to accommodate all of the trims.

Good plan

you really go the next mile for the customers...even testing it on different angels when attached to a car!

Got my brackets in the mail. I hope to get it installed this weekend when it’s above freezing. Have the DD 30 inch light bar, DD fog lights, tow hooks, and a bed cover to get on. I’ll post pics when done

Got everything installed. Since I was doing tow hooks at the same time, it was super easy to get the bolts into the ends of light bar by reaching through the void in the front of the bumper. Happy with everything so far.
Now to see how it performs in the dark and eventually replace these ugly halogen headlights

That looks great !!!!!

For those that aren’t using some sort of controller, where did you decide on mounting the switch? I just decided to go through the blank trailer brake controller. Didn’t need to take the radio out, just drill the hole, stick a fish tape through and reach up in and grab it to pull back through

If you're not a limited, we can help with headlights too. They are pretty awesome. They are available for all trims except TRX and Limited.

Looks nice and clean. I’d be a little leery of drilling blindly into that spot with my 12” display. (And as an electrician, blind drilling is a no go.) But if I can see behind the info center like your last picture shows, I might feel more comfortable doing it. Plus it looks like with the right spacing, a few switches could be drilled there. Well done sir!
