    Ya the shocks weren't on yet. Still would drop just as much with shocks, until the shocks stop it. Then that's a shock limitation. Not springs

    I've loosened all bolts to finger tight and still won't go. I chalked it up to variations in the packs. The spring is limiting itself. Not that worried about it, still performs well on the trail.

    What are you running for a led light bar? Doesn't look like any of the big brand lighting companies I know of.

    Its a Amazon(china) light bar... Had good reviews and did great for awhile but has some condensation that started building up during the winter. I plan on cleaning it and re-siliconing it this weekend before the expo

    The struggle...

    Im just looking at 4-6 pods to make up my lighting. Josh has these lifetime LEDs and they are amber/white on a dual switch but they are 60$ a pod.

    I can get set of 20$ pods that dont switch and just run filters........ But that dual switch tho

    :drool: Amazing build!

    ..and +1 for the cheap lights. Went side by side with a buddy that had Rigids once.... asked everyone there which was brighter, they couldn't tell the difference :devil: :der:

    But you can't shoot out individual lights on the shitty bars without the whole thing going out.

    Not so much brightness but optics. Sure HID lights in a stock housing are brighter, but performance a worse.

    I could never justify a 1000 dollar bar from Rigid or Baja, however, I just found Morimoto Bars. They have good output and are relatively cheap. Lifetime warranty too! I think they look cool. Ordered a 40" for my roof rack on sunday. Should be here by sunday for install :)

    Sure thing! Hopefully I've got it up by then! With a lifetime warranty, I think it's worth it. Still more expensive than eBay or Amazon though.
