It was good meeting up with you heading to RC. To bad we ended up in going with different groups. Next time (with dcharge74 and PAWrangler) we should have a Reading group.

I'm interested in seeing the Trucklites on. On the D1s, hopefully you get an older plug style that works wtih the fogs. We can talk later.

I'm a BIG supporter of Yeager as well here at Titus.

dcharge and I put on his Teraflex 2.5" spring lift in my garage. Nice lift. Real easy (on a new vehicle). Add rust and mud (like mine) makes it a little longer.

thats the lift i am thinking about going with, anything more and i think i need to do a front ds, just waiting till i can do both lift and tires at once, having a hard time deciding between staying with 17s and getting some at tires, or going down to 15s and staying with a mt style tire to sace money

Well got the duallys installed last night, i thought i ordered spots from northridge but floods show up, put them on the pilars to replace the hellas but feel like they should be mounted somewhere else? anyone have advise on this one? i have read up on them but still not sure

also headlights seem better but i think i need to re-adjust them at work where i know its level but will have to wait till this weekend for that

I'd mount the fogs on the front bumper or at least in front of the grill. Thats how i did it. I feel like I get better light thrown out in front of me. Spots are better on the windshield pillars but that's just my opinion.

thats what i thought which is why i chose the spot option for them, but thats not what was shipped, i do have the fog light mount kit for them as well so i may move them down, but not sure yet

You would probably be happier with the d2s on the pillars anyways. Way more light out put. Pretty much the same since you got the fogs included with your new trucklites. You will want some type of long range eventually ha. Are the truck lites worth the green?
