CS-FLB-17 | Carli Suspension Fabricated Front Light Bar For Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty 4WD

Template Cutout Selection

Mounting

The bar uses four existing bumper bolt locations. In the 2017 to current trucks, there are 8 front bumper bolts; removing the outside hardware won’t require bumper realignment. The outside factory bolts and nut-plates are removed entirely and replaced with a stud-and-nut-plate assembly that pre-attaches to the light bar — making this a one-person install. Feed the upper studs through the factory holes, secure with a nut, and bolt the lower location into the captured nut in the light bar. That’s the entire process; the bumper never leaves the truck.

All hardware sits behind the bumper – zero visible fasteners from the front making for the cleanest aesthetic on the market.

Bezel Trim Template

On 2020+ trucks, the light bar passes through the factory front bumper bezel — the textured plastic panel that fills the lower bumper around the tow hooks. This panel is the only piece that gets modified, and it’s a cheap replaceable Ford part, so a new set of inserts returns the truck to stock at any point should one decide to carry their Carli kit and light bar to a new truck.

To make that cut clean, we 3D modeled both the 2020–22 and 2023+ inserts and produced dimensionally matched trim templates. Each template fits both the standard and adaptive cruise control versions of the plastic — no separate part to specify. The template snaps into place on the insert and gives you a precise traced outline to cut.
