Light bar below tailgate

Is there an OEM light bar that goes below the tailgate/above the bumper? I noticed that there are a couple of holes for screw anchors down there. A part number would be helpful as well.

I don't know of any factory part. I bought a "Fire and Ice" (Recon product) from a member here, I LOVE it.

Takes all of 10 minutes to install.

The silver dually is just like mine (minus the baller rims, nerf bars and hottie standing next to it)

I want to know if someone makes a smoked lens or led for the light in the middle of a dually tailgate. I plan to smoke all the lens and if possible replace them with led''s so that it looks like the silver one on the Recon site. Anyone know where I can find the hottie so she can stand next to mine?

I took that plastic piece for the spare tire carrier off (I believe it just popped right off) and the light bar sits perfectly flush with the bed. That piece is not essential, its just a guide for lowering the spare.

can you get the long extention on the spare tire winch to let the tire down with it in place or do you have to put the spare in the bed? That would be the only problem I see with it.

I didn't see the fire and ice only the line of fire and white lightning. I would like to see the fire and ice before deciding.

Maybe that is what they are calling the White Lightning? I didn't see it either this time....?
Either way, it has the white back up LED's, which are just cool to look at, I don't think they are really lighting anything up back there.
Make SURE you get the 60" one, the other one is too short (in my opinion).

Can anyone answer this question in detail?

can you get the long extention on the spare tire winch to let the tire down with it in place or do you have to put the spare in the bed? That would be the only problem I see with it.
