What rigid mounts did you use for your 2015?

Thanks, BlueSky......Basically I took at 2.25" aluminium flat bar and made my bracket which was then painted black and mounted to the actual grill with SS hardware. I trimmed the two plastic vertical bars just above and below the light bar to give it that custom fit look. NO issue with the cooling fins to the rear.

Is that a curved bar or a straight one? That's the exact setup I'm looking for.

Looks good. I did the same thing on my Lariat. Got my light bar from f150leds.com. Uses the same L type mounting brackets that the ridges use.

Used it last night coming up a dark highway and without it i would have had a hard time seeing, those stock halogens suck!
