    Just one sub, I need something compact so I can still throw surfboards and such in the back. Would go with Amazon lights but already have Rigid dually spots and now want some of their DOT approved Duallys. There craftsmanship is amazing and I get a deal on Rigids so why not

    @Russtoy what size spacers are you running?

    Did the 1" Body lift and spacers solve your rubbing problem?

    I have had a Bazooka for about 5 or 6 years now. Makes good sound, all self contained, fairly durable, the wiring harness is a stupid design though.

    I have the 8 inch, if I were to do it again I would get the 10 inch and 250 watt

    5th. 2014-2016. Haven't decided if I want new, or I could get used and have some cash for a lift immediately.

    Yeah I've found a few good used ones. I'm going with a 14 at the oldest though so they still have most of their value. Found a lot of 4x4's with less than 50k miles. Just waiting on the perfect deal and I'll pounce. Gonna throw some quality parts on it. Can't wait to start a build page on it. Really stoked to get some armor down the line. Pelfrey's front bumper is gorgeous.

    I used mine a ton this weekend while driving through the rain at night. The only down side was that I had to keep turning them off for oncoming traffic, hence the DOT approved ones.

    I've been looking at this one, I'm know huge or knowledgeable in electronics/car audio and think this should do more than the necessary job.

    I'm so anxious haha. Just want to get building already. Won't be able to put as much work into it as the truck so it will be a slower build. It'll get there though.

    1) I have my stock wheels on...so I'm running an 1.25" space.

    2) Since I've put on my 1" BL...I have yet to have any rubbing/hitting issues between the front tire and front fender. That said though...I have not been out 4wheeling yet. Before the BL, every time I had my wheels turned sharply and hit the least bit of a bump, pot hole or curb going into a parking lot/drive way...my tires would rub or hit hard into the front fender. This would happen at least 1-2+ times a day.

    I'm loving my 1" BL. I've never liked BL and this is the first one I've ever owned. Since I've installed it...I haven't rubbed or hit my inner fender not once, which is awesome! I won't know until I hit the back trails if I will rub at full articulations, but as far as I can tell...it should easily clear.

    I hope this helps you Ramon

    No worries Buddy. If I were you...I'd go for it. A lot easier to install then I thought it would be.
