    I used the factory location for mine but created a longer mounting plate to drop it down under the light bar. It's completely visible standing out in front of the truck.

    I had originally thought of doing it in a much more complex way but my buddy, Garth, suggested to do it this way. He's a very smart man!

    I can take a better photo of it if you want.
