Not gonna find anything, on all the bumper mount light such as how you want, it has to be custom fabbed. I've been doing all my own fabbing because I get the results that I want, not what I expect.

ok so would you think that the output for 2 6in spot would be worth it there or should I look at a different mounting position

Two 6" light bars will emit a good amount of light, they will project the light as a set of fog lights would, just way brighter. I would recommend getting a set that is (flood) only as (spot) or (spot/flood) would be kind of useless in that low of a location. The bracket that will come with the light will give you a good start on mounting them, you just have to look at it and let your imagination take over.

No problem... How loud do you want it? I've run several different muffler's, never ran a full cat-back because I felt that did me no good without a set of headers. I got tired of all the noise and went back to stock. All the big names are good sounding and all have their up's and downs, there are a lot more members on here than me on the exhaust set-up's and know their stuff and can explain everything in great detail.

To the OP: I had the same question not long before you. I made something that is working but not as well as I wanted. I will share my results soon when I get some more pics.
Btw, the main issue I have is the space of the tow hook brackets. It's much smaller than those slots. I'm looking to remove the brackets, if possible and build a mount for bigger LEDs.

You could get a Smittybilt light bar. It mounts through the license plate holes. I don't have a pic of mine handy but I have a 40" mounted on it. Here is someone else's pic of it.

Any luck with the area?

I opened my tow hook cover and there is plenty of metal there to clamp a light bar to. We need something like a clamp to attach the LED light bar in there. I bought two 7" cree light bars. Putting them inside my verticle fog area but looks ****. Would ideally like to have them mounted horizontally in the tow hook area.

Xrsman " or something like that actually notched his " plastic chin spoiler" and mounted it below. if ur truck sits low prolly not a good idea though. How about behind the grill?? Maybe notch some of the grill out?

The mesh grill type I have wont let any light out if I fit it behind the grill.

I was thinking about xrmsan install, but my truck is stock height. Ideally for light output a nice 7 or 9 inch unit fitted inside the tow hook area would be great. Just need a clamp or something to fit it.
