I sure will.... I'm gonna try to do this when the brackets arrive but I also work 2x2 at a camp, may will might be better for me but will try to do a video or write up.

The rigid brackets do not work for 18-20 F150's... I even had them cut to try and fit.

 

[SpaceWhiteF150]

Dang

I may make some up by using L brackets at my local hardware store.

Before I break something, how did you remove this bolt, I even unbolted all 3 21's in the back and the bracket retainer won't come off to allow me to put my bracket on. What am I missing here. Using ops hand drawn bracket dimension I don't know how I'll get this bolt through the 31/64 hole on each end

I was also wondering how to do this, but haven’t tackled the project yet!

Figured it out, bumper came off to find the solution

What did you do? Can you do it without taking the bumper off? Thanks

 

[Kidastra]

I'm sure you can as 2 others have installed it, basically there is a retaining ring on the rear of the bolt, it can be unscrewed, you will need to remove all 3 bolts

Got mine done, thanks to the op for the drawing and to bigeasy for the suggestion to slot 1 end, gotta say on the 3.5 402 package space is tight. I did remove the bumper and the ICC sensor, ICC sensor could have stayed in place, was easier to access the bumper bolts and pass the wires with the grill off also. I don't think I'll ever be able to adjust the bolt without taking everything apart.lights are from lexbern aurora brand Mathew is an amazing guy to deal with, shipped to Canada in 2 days, did 3 flood amber and 2 white spots

Looks amazing!

Is that the bracket? It runs vertically? Thanks

 

[Kidastra]

Yes that's the bracket and no it runs horizontal

This is what I used for brackets.... hardware store L brackets.

You bet, so what I did was loosen the nut on the backside of the bumper and kinda pop it through so that I could get my flatbar in there.

On the flatbar, I drilled my hole and then used a zip cut to open the end of the flat bar to the hole so that I could just slide it in rather than have to completely remove the nut and put the flatbar over.

However, I used 2 different pieces of flatbar over what @captain lead foot did because I only mounted 2 lights on either side of center

Hope that helps
