Rigid Industries has pictures of their setups on their website. Although this says it is for a 2011-2013 it looks awesome and would be where I would mount one if I did not have a replacement front end. You could custom mount one in the same area and achieve the same look. Just my opinion. (The bracket may even fit, but I am unsure.)
Btw there are many other great brands that have a much more realistic price range than rigid, and likely come from the same place. I have heard great things about ledwarehouse.com and tough-light.com.
For my experiences the current market of LED bars leaves you wanting more for your money. My research found most bars are using 3w LEDs. My KC 6x9 HIDs will outshine the 30" LED bar. The LED bar is great for about 200' and side-to-side is improved. The KC HIDs will easily tag 300'+ with good side-to-side coverage. My LED bar was $250...if you spend more you better be sure you are getting better than 3w per LED.
The mounting bar I am using is from a company out of AL I recall. They are on Ebay if you are interested. The LED light bar is from M4Products.
Just FYI the rigid mount is garbage, you can pry them off with a pocket knife. I use a heavy duty unbendable theft proof one that is very secure.
Good to know. Thanks for the info. I don't want to be passing out bad info/products. Just out of curiosity, what mounts are you using that are more sturdy/theft proof?

I like led bars because they are more appealing, fit into spaces better and you don't have to have more than one. Never been a fan of the big round lights on trucks

As far as led light bars "not meeting expectations" this may be the case with a cheap bar. $250 (not to single you out) isn't going to get you a great bar.
To get the best light output get a combo spot flood, and make sure it uses CREE LEDs. If price is more important there are cheaper options than CREE, but they produce the most light.
