    Thanks!

    I didn't have the ARB with stock coils but I did have them with 884 coils and the truck dodged ducked dipped dived and dodged all over the place. 886s firmed it up a lot.

    So I was thinking of throwing down 90$ on some Hella 500FF driving lights but I can't fit anymore lights on this thing so...

    (used to have 4 of the hella 500s and they were alright)

    I was thinking maybe I ought to spend an extra 130 and buy lightforce 140s.

    :/

    I hate spending that much on lights but last time I was out in the NV desert at night it was getting dark fast and I was racing to get to where I knew the roads so I wouldn't get lost. These COULD help.

    Right? Right? Anything to convince myself.

    I'll help.
    Fuck the Hella 500/700s. They are entry level lights albeit at a great price point. Even with the HID conversion they are mediocre at best. Honestly I'm way happier with my shitty Chinese Euro beam HIDs than my old Hella 700's.
    There is no substitution for quality lighting when there's nothing to light your way in the desert except the moon light and the porn radiating from your iPhone.

    On the serious side... Lights would probably help with nights, I have been looking at red rings they seem to have good light output.

    I have the "black" rings.
    Same shit as the Kragen/Chinese/red ring/egay special HID's with the Euro beams, but with black rings to go with my decor. If you are shopping, RuffStuff is selling them now too.
