Anyone know the correct Whelen gutter mount bracket part number that will fit a 2012 Chevy 2500 for a 48" Legacy bar?

These are from Whelen's website for Chevy mounts but non of the bar lengths or vehicle models match:


MKEZ95
Colorado / 2015-2018 / Legacy®, Liberty™ II and Freedom® IV 48"-50" or Justice 55"

MKEZ96
Suburban (Roof Rack Mount) / 2015-2018 / 55"-60"

MKEZ45
Silverado Pickup / 1999-2006 (2007 Classic) / 54"-56"

MKEZ91
Silverado 1500 / GMC 1500 Pickup / 2014-2018 / 54"-56"

MKEZ93
Tahoe / 2015-2018 / 54"-56"

Anyone have experience mounting this combo of lightbar and vehicle?

I answered a similar question for another fellow a few years back:

A 49" Patriot is too short for your application. Even if you move the feet out to their widest spacing, they won't rest on the curved portion of the roof where they belong. Either a 52" or 55" version would be a good fit for your full-size truck. Strobes N' More has compiled a useful list of strap kits and suggested lengths.

I've done a 48" Liberty on a 07-13 Silverado using, please forgive my sacrilege, Code 3 PSE CVYTH07-48
