So keeping in mind I have never done a light kit, here are some suggestions:

 

Front - try to get this just under the frame horns as close as reasonable to the front air dam. Too low and you might bash the tube if you pull in too close to a curb.

Rear - this is a tough one. If you get the tube between the bumper and the spare tire, it might be a bit too high to light the ground as well (you would be able to see the tube if you don't have a lowered suspension). Two shorter tubes might have worked better - running the length of the rear rocker panel just behind the wheel.

Sides - you might need to create some 90 degree brackets that bolt to various holes under the body just inside the rockers. This would be easiest if you already had running boards or even nerf bars.

 

The transformer could be zip tied virtually anywhere if it is weather sealed. Make sure you have an on/off switch at the dash so you can turn it off if the cops don't like it.

 

Hope it goes well. Post a photo of the project when you are done. Make sure you use a tripod and no flash on the camera for the most flattering effect.

remember the transformer has to be mounted to a metal surface. this way you will have a stronger connection!

i would put the side tubes on the box of the truck... if you dont you will get cracks in the tubes... haha i found this out the hardway!! but its a streetglow kit and they have a lifetime warrenty so yeah.... the front i would put on the plastic skid plate! the rear one i would mount right behind the spare tire....and if possible get another kit and put on this inner frame so you will loose the dead zone in the center...but since its streetglow you may not have that deadzone..... :D

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
