Default Mopar light bar, which size LED bar ???

Guys, as title suggests, I recently bought a Mopar light bar that I have yet to receive, and plan on mounting a LED bar under instead of over.

So my searches found a few guys running this set-up with 20 inch LED bars. I'm wondering if a 22 inch LED bar would fit if mounted under the loop ???

Am looking at the CREE model in either 20'' or 22'' what do you guys think.

Also, most ads show the LED bar by itself. What else do I need ??? switch, but which one for a 2013 ??? would like it to look stock. And is there a wiring harness I should buy ???

Thanks for any input.

Well, that is the mopar light bar, but I would like to mount a 22 inch led bar under the mopar bar, and not on top like yours is.... for protection..

Would a 22 inch led bar be too long to fit underneath ?????

Thanks, cause so far, I've only seen guys with 20 inch bars and none with 22.

Does the light bar not come with the needed wiring? I just installed some Hella 500s and they came with the needed wiring (Wire, Relay, Switch, Clips). I took it a little farther on mine though. Installed a fuse block inside the cab and ran power off it. No need to trace down inline fuses if something doesnt work. All my fuses are in one spot. We ended up trashing the included wiring and relay and used an unused kit from a light bar.

My friend has a 20" on his RSE front bumper bar.

Not sure about the wiring, I guess I should ask the seller.

Nice bumper your friend has there. I should get the light bar this week and will be able to measure the available space. If there's room for a 22 inch led bar, I'll go with that. If not, 20 inch it will be.

Here is a quick shop of fresh360's bar. His is 15", so I took his, cut a quarter of it and added it to each end. That should give you ~22". At least it gives you an idea of what it will look like.
