Default One light bar installed. Another needed?

I installed a 20inch in my truck yesterday and love it. Been debating on getting a 50inch but need opinions!

Also shock help. I want to upgrade my suspension for a much smoother ride. I don't mind paying for it if it will help. Any input on great shocks that will fit my truck would be appreciated.

you could always go with rigid fog replacement. i can tell when the rigids come on in my fog housing, but thats about it. the one bar does an amazing job. maybe you could look at the raptor outlaw hood mount setup with 2 dually flood kicked outwards just a tad. will give you a nice wide flood on each side of the truck for corning.

What mount did you use in the center? Just got my 20" bar and haven't really looked how I want to mount it.

I just used the mounts that came with it. Just drilled 2 holes and bolted it up. Pretty simple install overall.

Personally don't see the need for any additional bars. Maybe a 50" across the roof but the hood mounted ones look off as does having them in the stock fog location.
Leave it alone IMO

I like those fog replacements also. I'm still just not sure on what other lighting I want.

Thanks for the input. I agree. I've been going back and forth on the 50's just can't justify the money spent on them and most of the mounts are bulky. Would need a curved one with mounts basically on the eyebrow of the windshield to be clean enough for me
