Someone here has this light bar. I can't remember who's truck it is, but it really looks good on the F150. Maybe someone can post a picture mounted on the F150.

Have a look at randyellisdesign.com and defiantruckproducts.com. I had a Defiant light bar on my '06 Ram 3500 with 4- 8" lights as well. Well built. Easy install. A couple of my friends have Randy Ellis lightbars and they look good as well.

This is the Light bar I used...http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SMT-130050/

Its a Smittybilt. Very sturdy. I drill it so all the wire were hidden. Worked great.






Summit also matched a different site that had it on sale for $99.00

Nice! It looks alot like the KC but more affordable.

I might be more inclined to get the Smittybuilt now for that price.

I'm pretty sure Randy Ellis builds the bars for KC. The Smittybilt is a bolt together unit. KC, Randy Ellis and Defiant are welded units and use pretty beefy tubing so they will be more ridged and will keep those big lights from bouncing around as much. Smittybilt uses 0.095" tubing and and the other 3 use 0.120" tubing. If you don't get off paved roads much it would be a non-issue. I'm not bashing Smittybilt. I'm just pointing out some differences. This is JMHO.

Good to know. I'm always learning something new here.
