This is the one I got. There are many other single row light bars to choose from, but I chose this one because it has combo beam pattern. Most single row light bars are only spot beam. I'm surprised at the price though. I paid $120 for it when i ordered it. Also note if you get this bar, you need to buy a deutsch style connector or something similar that will plug into your wiring harness.

Everyone that has seen my lightbar say its crazy bright, but call me crazy, I was expecting more. Don't get me wrong, it really is very bright, but a double row has x2 # of LED's. I really wanted a curved double row 30", but I didn't think the spacing in the grill would allow both rows to shine through. After searching more, I found someone that has done that with the all-terrain grill so I ordered another light bar and will swap it out to compare when it gets in.

 

thanks for the info. im trying to buy a light bar for my grill as well but looking at amazon I see so many different people trying to sell there bars and I don't know who to trust! but if I can get feed back ill probably bit the bullet and buy from the same person.

A double row works well behind the Denali grill. Here's my 30" curved Totron:                 The LED's are 1" appart and the rows of holes in the grill just happen to be 1" ap

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you!   I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated

Well I buy almost everything off of amazon because of all the reviews on the products, customer service, and return policy. If I end up liking this curved double row bar better, I can return this first one to amazon, no questions asked. I could also sell it too, so we'll see what happens. Really is a nice bar, but from the get-go, I really wanted to double row. I'll keep this thread posted, so if I decide to sell it I'll let you know here.

This is the curved one I ordered. Looking at the pics in the reviews, it's exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks for that. Gonna get a silver all terrain grille eventually and then I'm gonna do this afterwards. Look forward to the reviews. I'm definitely an amazon shopper myself. Got an amazon card too. Lol

Has anyone smoked/tinted the lense on their light bar to make it some what hidden/low profile I hate how easily you can see it through the grille.

I doubt it. Would definitely take away from the brightness. At first I felt the same way about it, but after installing it and having it for a few days, it just looks awesome. Sometimes I park in spots so that when I'm walking back to the truck I'm walking right at it. Looks pretty cool.

Yeah I would see it taking away I guess it's just one of those things you have to get used to

I got to get around to doing mine. I'm being lazy. A shop down the road from me told me it was 300 bucks just to lift the front end of mine with my rc 2.5 level. Not bad because it included the front end alignment.

But over the years of building my srt4 I probably saved 10k in not paying shops to do my work.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
