Not really sure which to go with. I haven't done too much research between the two different series. What are your thoughts? I'm also interested in those camburg uppers you have on your rig. What's the advantages of that as well?

My choice for the SR was made easy by two things. The first was how many people complained about the amount of wind noise the E Series made up there. Now I know that the SR is still pretty big but unless I'm doing about 85 and there is a strong wind in just the right direction, it doesn't make a noise that bothers me. The second factor was that I got it for insanely cheap on CL when the RDS bars first came out and everyone was going crazy to sell the "old" style lights lol

As far as the Camburg UCA they have better then stock geometry to allow the suspension to droop out more. I believe that the 1.5 uni will net you ~1.25" of droop over stock bringing your new total suspension travel in the front to ~9. If you look up fellow member "WarSurfer" he has a thread on mid travel and what each component does.

Thanks for the input man! Appreciate it. One more quick question, what's the upside of the rds bar? What's the difference? Clearly by now you can tell I haven't done my research. Ha.

One is curved and one is straight lol Since now you can get the E Series in Hyperspot pattern the only difference is the RDS is curved and throws more light to the sides. If money was no object I'd go RDS for the "wow" factor but since I don't live in fantasy land, price is a factor haha

Hmmm.. Maybe I'll switch to drinking a cheaper beer (I drink coors and that's damn cheap already ha) for awhile and pull the plug and get a lightbar. Where is your switch for the lights located? I don't remember if you posted a picture of that or not. Very interested to see where a good location to put my switch will be.

Haha I have been on a Bud Light Platinum kick lately, and by "kick" I mean it's all I drink! I need to get back on some budget beer so I can buy more truck parts. I'll grab a picture of my switch set up when I get back and pick up my truck.

Hey man Im back,
I completely forgot this last time.
Ive had 20x9 Pro Comp 7031s on my rig too, and one of the screws for a centercap went astray so i had to take it off before I lost it. Where did you find replacements for the ones stolen?

It has def been a while since that picture was taken. That was during the "Great Plasti Dipping my Rims Mistake" of 2013 and while I'm still glad i was able to use plasti dip for a little, I'm glad i haven't touched it since lol

I would post a link to the exact site but i noticed that i don't think any of them are vendors here so ill just say go to your "preferred search engine" and type in "pro comp 7031 center cap". It will run you about $10 w/ shipping. I have since taken all four of mine off and painted the inside part to match the rim because I've burned through about 3 of them now and i break them way too much. The look of having them removed however, is actually growing on me quite a bit.
