I switching up my 40" led setup which is already super bright for a 50" and poison spyder mounts, the bumper looks good with lights but I think it may be overkill

IMO you have plenty but might consider replacing fogs with led floods. I don't have any pics but did that and pillars and same bar you have with five Rigid Dually lights. Search my post just finished it.

I would upgrade the stock headlamps first. You will get some actual use from those.

Default the lights you have would look better down around upper windshield

The point is, I think I have enough light it's more for looks. I do not feel I am lacking any light especially with the overhead led that turns dark into day ( my wife uses the current 40" to light up a 5x10 acre pasture to feed horses at night ).

I've almost saved up for an AEV bumper like yours and I'm considering putting a 10" rigid light bar with the amber lights on it that way I've got different lights for different needs. But I've not seen any pics with an AEV bumper with a light bar on it instead of round lights.
