Default Push Bar Questions, need help.

Hey everyone, I am thinking about getting a Westin Push Bar for my 98 Ram 1500, not with the brush guards, what do you guys think about this Bar? Where is a good place that sells it cheap? I found on for 280 plus shipping. How big is this bar between the two blades and how tall is the area for the lights? I think there are only 2 brackets for mounting the lights, but is it possible to fit more brackets if they were welded on.

What my idea was to buy this, then get myself a pair of KC Daylighters put those on the stock brackets, and weld 2 more brackets in between those two to put some lower wattage lights so I can drive around with them on. Any one got any good ideas for a second pair of lights, I was thinking something KC. Would all 4 lights fit in there, they are all 6" diameter and I think around 5 inches in depth.

Does this bar look good in reality, the picture looks nice.

Well thats all I can think of now, thanks to anyone that can help

Mike.

Its funny you're talking about this. I just did this exact thing to my '98. here's some pics. there's a little room in between the 2 KC's but not much. Maybe some small lights?
I love the way it looks!

Thats looks sweet, but your talking about a little different bar. From what I have read what you have is a bull bar, and a push bar, is similar but it goes all the way up the grille. Its pretty much a brush guard but without the wraps around the lights, just that middle peiece, thats what I was talking about, but ya your really turned out sweet, how do those lights work? Bright?
