Thanks! I have no doctor's note, so no front tint in PA (I also don't know an inspection station that would pass me). I'd love tint, but I hate the idea of being made to scrape it off at a traffic stop. Here is a before and after montage!

Tint the windows, then put a hidden power kill switch to the windows.... When inspection comes around, roll the windows down and flip the switch. When pulled over, roll the windows down, flip the switch. There's no law that you have to have WINDOWS at all... Just say they're broken.

I don't get it. Maintain what? There's no requirement to have side windows on a car. OR even side doors for that matter.

2017 Screw 2WD - Installed a Rough Country 2" leveling kit and an Auto spring Add-a-Leaf from Stage 3 Motorsports. Worked out perfectly. Wanted the add-a-leaf so I wouldn't squat so much while hauling a travel trailer, and the leveler to bring me up in the front but still leave a touch of rake. Ended up getting about 2.5" from the front spacer, and 1.5" from the leaf.
The front install was more of a pain then the rear. Needless to say, there are many ways to skin a cat. I didn't want to remove my hubs and knuckles, so I tried some different ways. The easiest way was to slack lines as much as possible and not bother loosening control arms. Pry bar and ratchet strap were key. Did a quick alignment to fix my toe-in and I was ready to rock. Finished the day off with some Rough Country seat covers and some Forscan mods.
Before:
Front Rear
L - 36 5/8" 38 1/8"
R - 36 3/8" 38"
Front installed
Front Rear
L - 39 1/4" 38 1/8"
R - 39 1/16" 38 1/4"
Both installed
Front Rear
L - 38 15/16" 39 1/2"
R - 38 13/16" 39 13/16"

Before

Front installed
Both installed

Any of you guys in this thread that have leveled - did you have to adjust your headlights down afterward? My 2019 Lariat SE has laser-beam Quad LED headlights and even with the low beams on, I get flashed by oncoming drivers.

I did just about a full turn down and never really "checked" them. I have LED H11 and nobody has flashed me since and I do tons of night driving.
