Light bar options 2014 Z71 grill

[TopazBlue6.2]

I’ll start by saying I’ve read every light bar post I can find for these trucks and I haven’t found anything concrete for trucks with the Z71 grill. I’ve seen the rough country kits but I think they are grossly over priced compared to something I could build. 

My original idea was to mount a combo of spot and floods 7-8” long in the openings of the grill, like this. 

After more measuring I don’t think that would work. So I’m on to other ideas. One of those is a 22” curved bar that has tall enough mounts to be able to bolt it to the bottom area of the opening between grill and radiator, but that area is plastic which makes me nervous about stability. Any thoughts on how to make that a better option? Or does anybody have something they have done that works well with this grill and can be replicated?

Most of the Z71 guys have put a single row 30" LED bar in behind the grill.  I have seen a couple of guys that have put 6-8" single rows in between, like what you're planning.
