Opt7 Redline Sequential Turn Signal Tailgate Light Bar

[TopShelf515]

Has anyone installed the Opt7 Redline tailgate light bar with sequential turn signals in a Sierra/Silverado 1500? I had one on my '15 Canyon and want one on my '19 Silverado. I know about using the Putco tail light to 4 pin adapter harness because of the issues using the Curt harness on the trailer light plugs with the trailering package and all that, but I can't find anyone with a '19 or '20 that actually has one of these installed. I started looking into the dimensions of it and it looks like there may be clearance issues when the tailgate comes down. Just wanted some input if anyone has this specific tailgate light bar installed.

Tagging for info.

I installed one on my AT4 but hardwired it to avoid issues with trailering, cameras, etc.  On the AT4, the clearance between the bumper and tailgate is narrow so careful positioning in height is critical for it to be visible.  I do have light contact with the tailgate in the center when open and I had to use thicker 3M tape for mounting because the bar extends past the sheet metal wrapping the corners of the bed and just popped off using the provided tape.

Update

Got it and installed using Putco tail light harness adapter (P/N 529005) it uses the tail light harness plugs near the spare tire, quick easy plug and play install without having to wire directly into the trucks factory wiring harness. However, still had to wire the reverse light into the putco harnesses reverse wire. It does fit without the tailgate hitting it but it is very close! You'll want to stick it about a 1/4"-1/2" above the two bumps in the sheet metal behind the bumper to be able to see it.

I know this is an older thread, but I have the original Redline single row bar currently and am planning on installing that on my 2022 when it comes in (hopefully in the next week).  I know that the single row is measured at 1/2" and triple row is 3/4" height.  So I am going to be trying to mount the included clips so I can re-use the same holes it creates for the new triple row light if I decide to upgrade in the future.  

 

Is there anyone that might be able to provide a precise measurement of how high above the two rolled cutouts on 2019+ Silverado the top of the bar can sit before interfering with the tailgate.  I know it's a pretty tall ask; but I've been surprised with the level of detail some have been able to provide on these forums before; and when even a 1/8" can make a difference I figured it was worth asking.
