Will this interfere with a soft top. That seems to be the issue with light bars. Can I remove and install my softop without issues?

I think you would be ok. It does not follow the countour of the windshield and you have a 4 inch gap betwen the top of the windshield and the top of rhe lght bar. I have a hard top so was never an issue for me.

No, it sits a little forward of the windshield header. You will be able to remove and install your soft top as if the light bar is not there.

I purchased this bar just because of the soft top issue. The bar curves forward at the top and is offset about 3" which keeps it out of the way. Works perfect.

This does not interfere at all with removing or installing a soft top. A few things to consider though: parking garages become more of a challenge, as do car washes. Besides that, looks and works awesome!

Yes. Installed my light bar and KC lights with ease. There were a few issues with the pre-drilled holes being too small. But if you bore them out an extra 1/4" they work perfectly with at least an 1 1/2" clearance. Just word to the wise, use loc-tite to ensure no slippage. But the light bar itself works very well with clearance to remove the soft top whenever you want

This light bar actually doesn't interfere with the top at all. It sits about an inch in front of the very top of the windsheild.

Nope, have to install the whole thing. You can keep you soft top down and manipulate it to put the top back up if you need to. Pain in the ass but you can do it in a jam

Add 5" from the top of your soft top and that'll be the top of the cage. As stated, adding a rack or crossbars will add up to an additional 8-11" on top of that for crossbar mounts, crossbar then a rack. My doors are 8x7' and I have just enough with the cage. No hope with anything else attached. I just remove my whole rack which is pretty simple if you have 2 kids and an adult!

I don't believe so, there would be no place for the top bar to rest. I may be mistaken so ask around.

yes for a soft light but if you want a bright tank i would go with 2 of the bars just to be safe

I agree with the other responses. This unit has the tiny lights on top. I put mine on a bar stool and am not able to even see the lights from my bed.

Since they both have to be secured in the channel above the fenders, you couldn't put both on at the same time. I actually keep my soft top on, put it down, then put this over that. When the normal soft top is down, the windows aren't using the channel above the fenders, so it fit's fine.

I installed an N-Fab lightbar on my 2013 Ram 2500. Mounted the KC HiLite fogs upsidedown on the outer tabs, no problems.

The factory mudflaps do not interfere with installation. the bar stops about half an inch from the front mudflap.

I take my light bar off during the winter because I run my truck through the automated car wash on a regular basis. As such, it's currently unmounted. It's about 12° outside - not going to reinstall - but here are some pics on how it works: http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/Apocalanche/library/Avalanche/Light%20Bar

It does interfere with it, but I don't find it bothersome. You can still see the backlight, however, you cannot see the backlight through the letter.

We also questioned wether we could add an extension bar and searched the manufactures web site and found that they do have longer support bars. But we never purchased the extension aswe had already installed the light/fan and had cut the wires. At the time it seemd strange that the wires were so long, but on reflection I now know why, they are for the longer bar. Hope this helps.

The top bar is not soft. The entire setup is not terribly stable. I put weights on the bottom to help but I am still aware of the pressure I put on it at certain angles. Hope that helps.

When I ordered the windshield the company called us to verify if we had a soft or hard top. Ours has the soft top but apparently they have one for the hard tops also. It was a little difficult to install ours but it works nicely. Directions are a bit skimpy.

i don't have problem installing it, the connectors little tight if i tried to remove it. this cannot read some of the bar code. i tried but no luck so i just put is aside.

It depends if you put a single row or double light bar. If you do a double it's gonna block a lot

Actually the grab bar has not been installed so I can not give you an answer. Sorry.
