So my Excursion doesn't have fog lights on it.
Should the pigtails be up under the bumper somewhere so that it'll be plug n play installation? Or will I be running my own wires?
No pigtails. You need to wire everything up.

There's a thread in the tech folder sticky for that.

A 20" bar will fit in the are across where are stock fog lights are mounted if you remove the stock fogs and mount only the 20" bar. You can get a combo bar, that has the outer few LED's as flood and the center ones as spot. Usually ends up being cheaper than buying 3 separate lights.

Recessed kinda like this. This is on the 2011 Expy.





You should be able to put a 30" single bar in there no problem.

Agreed.

I had already purchased the 2x2 Dually lights when I learned about the KD Fabworks brackets and decided to change course midstream.

Does anyone make a combination spot/flood LED light bar where the spots and flood beam LEDs can be turned on separately?

I dunno, but I have looked at tons of lightbars from all manner of companies and I've never seen one. I know, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it was more of a FYI kind of thing.

Make sure you are seated when you see the price, but Baja Designs offers them in 30-60" bars.

Dear God... $1125 for a 30"?

Now I'm wondering where all these 'bro trucks' are getting their money for the four - five light bars they have all over their trucks.

Just like rims are rented/leased: https://www.facebook.com/GoRimco changed name to:
https://www.facebook.com/Chromewheels


Do the same for lights, I smell a business opportunity.

Lightco.
