Brightest Lightbar for 22' 1500

[Dex17]

So in the market for a lightbar. Looking to hide it behind the grill, much like how Rough Country's has it shown for their lightbar on the Ram 1500 DT. Just curious though if Rough Country's is the way to go or is there another lightbar out there that is better or brighter? I live in the country and go down back roads to and from work between 4-5am. Almost hit bambi everyday so want something to really light up the road. Thanks

What trim is your truck?

Bighorn. No parking sensors but have the see thru grill installed.

Ok, I'm not much help then (I only know about fit-ups for the Rebel/TRX style grille). But on a side note, if you're interested in seeing the deer on the side of the road as well (before they're all up in your grill), take a look at this ditch-light substitute. Instead of the obnoxious pods at the base corners of your windshield, Oracle makes a set that gets integrated into your mirrors. They're working on a trailer tow mirror version as well, which I'll probably buy when it comes out.

If the space allows it the baja onx6+ is probably on of the brightest I have used.

The 30" Black Oak Led Light Bar is almost triple the power of the Baja Light. I just got the Double Row 30" with 5 watt Osram Led's and it puts out 300 Watts vs Baja 120 and 33,000 Lumens vs Baja 12,500. As soon as my mesh grille comes in I will get it installed.

RC is definitely not the way to go.

if you want something that's built for legit offroad use and trusted by desert racers that go 100MPH+ in the desert, Baja Design is your best choice.

Go with OnX6 if you can spend a bit more, else the S8 is a more budget option. Pair that bar with the brackets from @Shifts And Grins Fab with a quality switch system and you're golden.

Also, FYI, if you want the throw behind the bumper is not the ideal location for it. For long distance throw you want it to be high up. I know our trucks don't really have a spot for high up so the SDHQ A-pillar brackets paired with a pair of BD XL Racers Edition for maximum throw distance.
