Im looking to install an LED light bar behind the grill. I have a 2013 with the "c" style grill. Which one will fit / perform better? A 30" mounted between the grill supports or a 40" mounted to the bumper supports. Would a curved bar work better ?
I have been searching the last several days and can't seen to find the answer.
F150 LEDs has some decent setups with some good prices. Just not sure which one to get.

I'd go to Amazon and save some money if you're looking at F150leds.

As to answer, they will all perform ok, you'll just need to look up pics of what you like best.

The 32" will fit inside your grille supports and a 42" will fit Inbetween your grill bump stops but I just bought a 36" (morimoto) single row light bar and it fits Inbetween the bump stops. The 42" bar is nice but there's too much of the lights (on each end of the bar) that will never shine onto the road cause the grill blocks it. That's why I went with the 36".. It's a solid light bar and its heavy duty feeling and looking, compared to some others.

This is how I mounted mine. I made my own brackets.

Can you post a pic? Thanks.

I did post a pic and I'm getting rid of the bull bar cause it blocks the light bar and I miss my front tow hooks.. I have pulled out a f350 powerstroke, 3500 lifted Cummins and a couple of explorers as well as a few trees I've cut down. The Ford front tow hooks are f**king strong as hell, bull bar is useless.

If you have an EB, dont plan on getting bar to fit between the bumps. The CAC def gets in the way

Thanks for this thread... I too have been struggling with with the right light bar to get and where to mount. That being said what kind of mounts did you use?

CJS F-1

I know they sell the mounts for that location on Amazon for the 42" led bar so I just made my own out of some 3/8" flat stock or 1/8" flat stock steel. Then I centered the light and made sure it would shine out of the bottom opening of the grille. Then drilled a hole through the flat stock mounts and bolted the mounts that came with the light to my mounts I made.

I have a 5.0 and went with the 20" in between the two (bread loafs). Couldn't be happier with it and it was on Amazon for $45.
