Default Looking to add some kc daylighters!

Just don't know what to put them on. Im undecided between the smittybilt light bar and the grille saver. What do you think looks better? Lets see some pics if you have one of the above. I have a 2013 red xlt. Lets see what they look like next to some chrome.

Keep in mind the grill saver and most "push bars" like that make you remove your tow hooks to install them & they will not stand up to being used to pull or push with they are merely cosmetic. They also wont mount as many lights.

True statement. I had to remove my tow hooks which kinda sucks but I got over it.

The lights were a PITA to get to where I wanted them. The curvature of the bar make it difficult to tighten down on the bolts and getting a socket wrench I the slave between the bar and bumper............

I did the long range KC SlimLites on a Westin bull bar. Very pleased. They have a much slimmer profile and don't look as bulky sandwiched between the bar and grill. Install was simple and solid.

Default replace tow hooks

I just put a billbar and kc daulighters on my 2013. I didnt want to lose the tow hooks either but I solved it. I took a 4.5" piece of angle iron and bolted it to same area bar bolted to frame. Then I drilled holes in for the hooks. They sit about 2" lower then they used to but cleat the bar. And with a 6" lift I could afford to lose the little ground clearsnce
