Default Bull bar installed

Just installed a Bull Bar on the truck yesterday. Piece of cake. The Body lift actually helped with the install. Mounted it as low as I could to see if I wouldn't need to trim the chin spoiler. Still needed to trim about an inch off. An electrical tape container made for a good template to mark the cut out. After seeing it done, I think I'm going to raise it to try and get even with the bumper. With the body lift it sits low enough that I can put lights on the top also, and they will not be above the headlights,(legal issue). The lower lights will sit right in the bumper openings.

So what do you think? Round lights on the bottom to match the fog lights and rectangle/square on top to match the headlights. This is as good a picture I can get for now. Digital zoom from porch at 200 feet and raining from Alberto.

Wanted to add some lights and the front of our trucks look good, I didn't want to cover the whole thing up. I wanted something for the front that didn't get in the way while working on it or a pain to wash/clean around. It was either that or the N-Fab pre-runner light bar. This one will keep the lights low enough to be legal.

Not quite as cool or creative as the gutter gaurd grille but it will work.

Shocker, what size lights fit in yours? It looks like I will need the 5" ones to clear the curved upper bar.

The ones that I am running are 7". Not sure you can go much larger with my bar. I found some pics. Not too much but still enough to set my rig apart.
