Help with Rigid Dually / Bracket Mount

[Badrap]

Shouldn,t show thru bumper but, the bumpers move on these trucks and it will eventually rub and show.
Sorry for the bad news.

The overall install isn't too bad. It is definitely better with a second set of hands. I did have one side that didn't align as well as the other. I just moved the bracket a bit and it was good. I think my bumper was a little out of alignment. Even with the small issues it was worth it as the lights are great. The worst part was by far getting the wiring paired in the glove box. Harder than hell getting cutters/crimpers in there.

mine stick out like a sumbitch but they put out a lot of light with the bar you have already you should be able too see at dark time fairly easily

Even after a perfect install they are now sticking out from the bumper. Hard riding shifts the bumper.

The way I'm gonna mount mine - there ain't gonna be any movement. The bumper can wrap around a tree and the lights won't be affected.

The fog lights never moved - they are bolted on solid. It's the bumper that moves because it is held in place by two bolts on each side. I tightened the bumper's bolts really well last week, but have not been 4x4ing since then. As of now, the fog lights are staying where they belong.

Let us know how you mount your lights.

Also, DO NOT use the self-tapping shit screws that ship with the kit - use some bolts (if you have the patience) or at least some higher quality self-tappers...

After TRR, one of the self tapping screws was missing and the other seven were loose. Replaced the 4 outside screws (2 on each bracket) with bolts and lock nuts. Tightened the inside 4 screws (2 on each bracket) and will keep an eye on them. Understand that some guys have lost their lights off roading. I was probably pretty close to dropping my driver's side set. So agree with Swoop - don't use their screws.

Lost the inside screws at Cycle Ranch (the outside bolts and nuts stayed put). Re-tapped the inside holes tonight and installed bigger bolts and lock washers. Feels secure again. We shall see.

Subscribing to this so I have notes for my install.
