For sure curved. I've been wanting to order one but other things have been coming up preventing me.

I'm ordering a 50 curved osram bar with the mcmfab mounts. Most likely Friday when I get paid.

Yeah I think the curved is way better! 50" fits well on Rangers?

Curved if your going for windshield mount.

Re: Light bar time!!!!!! Curved or straight?
I used the putco mounts from amazon. They are the f250 mounts but I just bent them to fit the ranger.

They're probably better. The putco mounts aren't very rigid. Any shock gets them vibrating.

They are steel, it won't matter the year as some modification is needed to make them fit on a ranger.

Re: Light bar time!!!!!! Curved or straight?
Would avoid the curved ones if at all possible. Light output is not nearly what a straight bar has, and the curved ones always seem a way to loosen up and they tilt downwards.

Use rubber washers between the mount and bar itself. Bar won't move.
