The guys at Stage3Motorsports recommended them to me so I went ahead and installed them when I did the leveling kit. Really cant tell any difference in ride quality.

I noticed a difference, not at a slow speed but at speed and also at speed off road differently can tell.

Hell the raptor I had wasn't a smooth ride at low speeds.

Took a year to complete the retrofit? Lol. I opened a set of headlight a few months ago and they've been sitting ever since.

I'm digging those demon eyes. What else did you do to the housing

Blacked out the housings and shrouds.

I had all the parts and a set of headlights opened up for about 2 years start to finish. Lol

It was a matter of getting a friend to paint the everything and getting time at the shop to actually work on them. Once we actually got around to working them we knocked them out in 2 afternoons with all the test fit and mock-ups.

Good call. I rattle canned the bezels and they turned out good but I'd rather have a professional paint/clear them.

You bought your truck not far from where I bought mine!

Love the mods that you've done so far!

Change up the tire size to a 275/65r20 from a 295/55r20. Looks much better.

Also love having King 2.5s on all four corners over the Fox 2.0s. The SPC UCAs were a must as well.
