I was wondering the same thing -- I have KC windshield brackets with Slimline lights ... not sure it's going to fit and based on the pictures with the light force lights -- it looks like the KC's would be too close

I had the mopar brackets (and AEV snorkel to be installed), but just replaced the brackets with the KC ones - much better, as they sit straight up, so no issues with the antenna either. You can see the lights now (OK), whereas with the mopar brackets you had to move to see them. The only difficulty is turning left - the light tends to block your side vision a little with the KC brackets. Ideal functionality would be a mopar left bracket and a KC on the right, but... well that just looked a little silly!

I have LightForce 140's (6") lights and they fit.. but;
with that said.. LightForce Lights sit different then standard lights..

If you need any specific measurements, let me know and I can get out the tape measure and check some measurements compared to the setup you have right now






Damn Craig....seeing your pictures of the snorkel is getting me motivated to possibly get some nuts and cut my hood for the AEV snorkel!
