Moto can you go in to further detail of how you mounted the lights under the rear bumper?

nope, think they are still first. the steering nipples look as big as mine were before I took a grinder to them. I pretty much killed the front ones and took about 1/4 inch off the rears. after 1000 miles no rubbing or binding.

These are a stealthy install alternative to bumper flush mounts. Very easy one beer install and they mount to the rear of the leaf shackle.

After close inspection and measuring, I determined that offroad they would be out of harm's way mounted there. Just need to drill one hole and easily installs using Rigid's hardware.

These are Rigid Floods and they light it up quite a ways behind the truck with a really nice pattern (vs being in the bumper) due to being closer to the ground at a lower angle.

I have them aimed down slightly but they can be adjusted upward as well. On an Offroad Run I think that being aimed slightly down they will light up the path for the following Raptor without blinding the driver.

Used the Rigid wiring kit that came with the lights, and tapped into the trailer harness for reverse and ground.

Aha! Ok, well Corey says he will take a look at them when he arrives, and help me figure out how much to buzz off.
