so would you recommend the 5100s for the front with a t bar crank?

I don't think you can get 5100's without a lift can yuh?

Regardless, I've heard good things about the 5100's, nothing bad.

It will be easy as hell if you already have lights in your doors, but if you don't like I did then you have to tap into the dome light. You can see by the second pic that I had to cut out the back wall enough so that the light could fit. I just used a kitchen knife it was easy. And yes the second pic looks ugly but I've never even looked at that compartment before so it doesn't matter to me.
I love those how much u pay for
