Default Light Bar Recommendations

Hi, I have a second gen (2000) 2 door blazer as seen below and I would like to mount a light bar either on the roof or a curved on top of the windshield but I have searched and searched and cant seem to find the right sizes as everyones are varying. Iw ould prefer it go from door to door but I am open to all recommendations for sizes and brands!

I know from researching on here, most people slightly modified Silverado brackets for over the windshield...depending on the size of your light bar.
But there does appear to be brackets on eBay and Amazon specifically for the S10 Blazer/Jimmy.
I've seen 42" to 52".
I would make sure it's a curved bar if it's 42"+, for over the windshield.

50" curved is about as big as you'd probably want to go in my opinion. Any more and I think it'll start sticking out pass the sides and looking a little goofy... I'm running a 50" curved over the windshield of my 04 with some 98-06 Silverado brackets. They took a little massaging to get to fit right, but in the end it almost looks as if they're made for it.

I'm really surprised that no company offers bolt-on brackets for light bars on the S series trucks as popular as they are...











Notice the curve I had to "massage" into the bracket where it bolts to the body. The bracket is normally flat...
