You can fit a 20" in the slots in the middle of the front bumper with some mod.
I have a 20" that I will be finishing up mounting this week. Your best bet is to go you with a tape measure and get some dimensions and see what you have to work with!
If you get a 50", I could spend the extra $$ and get a curved bar. It sits much cleaner on the truck IMO.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

I went with a 20 inch. I looked at it and it looks like I can remove the middle small bar in the lower valence and get it to fit in between the other two.

Love my 32" curved behind the grill, going to either raise it up/down or get a different grill

That'll be what I do next. I have that three bar grille and it looks like the middle bar will be right in the way of the led light bar so I figured I should wait till I get a new grille.

That or make an L bracket to lower it or get some spacers to raise it. I'm just going to make some L brackets cz I think it'll look better lowered rather than raised. If I ever get around to buying a new grill I'll recenter it but my funds are needed elsewhere so the brackets will be cheap

Just finished installing my 20"curved into my front bumper. It's flush with the curve of the chrome trim above it. I personally love how it turned out, now just gotta give the heads and fogs a face lift!
