^^That's a link to a how-to on doing your own light tabs. No Drilling to your truck at all. Works on 98-05 trucks. This is the best option, and cheapest option, if you don't want to drill into your bumper.
Here's mine:
Before with virtually the same measurements as Wayne's tabs, but with the Slimlites.
Homemade lite tabs....using 1/4"x1 1/2". Bent using oxy/acet torch on a vice. Eyeballed it. I shortend them up to hug against the grille by about 1.5" compaired to my old tabs. KC Slimlite Titaniums(thanks 07ranger!!). I'm going to add two more lites in the middle here like next week.
Comparison between my old tabs and my new tabs. I believe I followed the diagram of what Jusnes and Underdog sells when i made the first set...except for the thickness of the first set of tabs.
Then you could add a crossmember, and bam! you got 4 lights!

put your finger in between the grille and bumper, feel the bumper.....the bolts are there on 98-05 models...everyone but the STX. The bolts you use are the bolts that hold the bumper to the bumper bracket.
no need to remove the bumper.
