Yep, exactly like factory

Both my lights together were $37 or so on ebay.....with bulbs
New headlights and foglights take yrs off truck appearance.

Wow that's a great deal. I've seen a set of bulbs go for more than that.

Thanks for the info Crazy!

Yea there's just no way my outer treads are going to fully engage the ground. Seems strange.

Tires are clean, I pull in the shop and the treads get that whitish dirt coating where they make contact. Tells you exactly how they're tracking right, so iduno. That pressure sounds good enough to me right now lol.

Hey since you guys are hanging around, is there anything I can do other than body lift (I'll never) to bring the front end up 1 or 2" WITHOUT affecting factory pre-load. SAS is out as well lol.

Haha. I know how it goes. I need to do some major repairs.. I need to find a 9.75. I'm thinking it may be time for a lift, along with going 6 lug. I dont understand How I can get a low mileage 09+ axle assy cheaper than one for a high mileage 03 unit. It doesnt make since.
