i know, i know. just wraping up bunch of little things, not very exciting. still need to do exhaust, sliders, air intake tube, wire the arb lockers & switches, add nitrogen, bleed brakes... added a plate and tube to help brace the upper link: shocks are in and arb pump mounted cut down the brake lines, relocated the bump stops and added limit straps, parking brake cables. how she sits:

i did a little research and found that it is designed that way to have equal length exhaust pipes to the muffler.

Thx Mike,, but that is a little expensive considering I already have Ridged Dually D2's, and if I want more out of the stock lights, I can just buy bulbs

well, its not so much the performance, but the controlled light cutoff that the projector hid retrofit gives. the vid shows what its like. or you could just adjust the ride height like you said.
