As I sit here and decide how to misappropriate my savings 
...in the direction of lights...I have come up with some ideas, but want to see if anyone has any reasons not to do what I am planning on doing...Wow that was a mouthful.
To start with, the truck is an F350 CCLB, lifted 6 inches on 37's. Not terribly high, but not low either. Lighting sucks btw.
So when the winch bumper gets built, it will have a forward facing 30 inch Rigid LED bar ($$$ ouch), then a set of D2 wide facing down (as in fog lamps) on the corners (facing 10 and 2 ish). They will be doing double duty, fog lamp ish, widening the immediate illuminated area.
On the sliders/steps, all the way in the back, just in front of the rear wheel wells, I was planning on having another set of D2, either the diffused or the wide pattern, facing forward and out. These would be activated as camp site set up illumination as well as when I am turning or looking for that turn in the middle of no where and its flipping dark and dont want to tip off the edge of the world lights.
These side lights is where I have the most hesitancy. Mostly due to the height off the ground. My fear is they will be too low and be an annoyance when setting up camp. They would be about 30 inches off the ground well, maybe 26. Somewhere in there.
I am not to hip on mounting stuff up high. (the reverse lights will be mounted high on the spare tire carrier) I dont want it to get knocked off, whistle at speed and generally annoy me when I look at it. In the sliders they will be fairly well protected.
Can anyone see a reason that these slider mounted lights just absolutely wont work or will be such an annoyance that I will want to really test out Rigid's durability test with an axe?
