I have the same set up and it works great. Also gives you some flexibility in moving the bracket sideways if you want it a little closer or farther away for a bette field of view. Costs about as much as the Smittybilt ones are. Here's mine:

...quality and simplicity.

...put 'em on straight to metal. tried using a cut to form mouse pad but the screw threads wouldn't catch one of the hole threads.

I have these sitting in my garage, duplicolor bedlined, and waiting for a set of LF 170's. I'm worried with the brackets of the Lightforce lights it may be better to go with the Smitty brackets (like Echo has). I'll probably end up buying both brackets to see the difference and then I will give away the ones that don't work as well.

Thanks

Thanks for posting the pictures. They look like a great solution... lights out to the sides like the Mopar and SmityBilt brackets but also higher up.

I wonder why none of these come with a pad to protect the metal? It's just silly.

...yeah, i had to bend the antennae but i did it perfectly the first try.

...i put 'em on with no backing but 'they are powder coated'.

...i may cut one of the kids's bicycle inner tubes for material to fit between the brackets.

I just used some of that no slip matting. I simply snipped some of the "squares" out to make room for the bolts (I have the KC brand).

i have these with piaa 520s. weirdest damn thing, they seem to flare up on the outsides (both of them) causing the lights to bend ever so slightly inward. Ive stared at this for a while now and all i can figure, after several on and offs, is that either the holes are lined up a bit off on the bracket (at an angle) or I am the biggest dumbass on the planet. My wife already voted for the second.
