Rear work light location???
On my 05 250 I got some new worklights, LED, from Grote. These are the new Trilliant lights, cost $310 each and hope they're worth it. Problem I have is that I want to mount these on the back of the truck for back up light but with my duals coming out on both sides of my hitch I can't mount them there. There's no lip on the bottom of the bumper, any other mounting ideas?

I would not mount lights any lower than my trailer hitch. Doing so would be just asking to get them broken or torn off, even if you don't go off road. At $300 per, that would wreck my day. That leaves the area just outside the hitch, just below the level of the bumper. I would probably try to mount them off the hitch gusset.
If you search for the "stealth backup" thread, you will see a lot of examples of how guys have mounted BU lights.

Good point, don't hang them under the box tube, move the mounting bracket to the back of the lamp head and then affix it to the side of the box tube. That way it gets some protection from the bumper and won't get as much junk off the tires.
