Behind the Grill LED Lightbar recommendations

Do you have the dimensions of the louvers? Would a 30 in bar fit between the housing? Thanks
I measured the actual louver and it's 17" and there are 2 for each level. There is that small space between the louvers separating them in the middle. Sounds like the 30" bar may fit but not sure how you would set that up.
 
check out what both Cblaxx and I did in this thread. Both a little bit different.
But if you trim the center support like he did you could remove two louvers and fit a 30" bar in there.


Otherwise 2x 10" bars could easily fit if you don't like the individual pods like he and I have

Thanks, There would definitely be trimming involved, but I have a lot of space to work with thanks to the STX grille!
 
Putco has a bracket and 30” LED bar that fits behind grill

Hmm, it says it fits.
it may fit technically but i highly doubt it lines the lights up with the openings in the Tremor grille appropriately. they don't actually show any photos on a current gen F150 at all.

That’s what I was thinking.
 
Took a risk and got a big payday. Looked into the Baja Designs S8 kit for the Raptor a while back and agreed with the consensus that the bracket, as supplied, would put the light behind the lower crossbar. I’m stubborn and decided to try it anyways. If you turn the bracket upside down and drill new holes in between the active shutter pivot points you can place the lights right in a sweet spot. If you want to go this route strongly consider buying from Specialty Performance Vehicles and Parts. Their harnesses are a big upgrade from what Baja Designs provides. They also sell and upfitter prep kit to extend your wires and enable quick swapping of what switch powers what.

Love it, do you have links of those brackets. I’d like to copy it.
