    Better to find them there then where they would have been without one! I've been meaning to pick up one of those shackle receivers as well, but with my truck possibly finding its way on the chopping block soon ill probably hold off

    Do you have a bunch of weight in the rear? Seems like it's sitting way lower in that picture.

    nope :notsure: I am 6'4" and was standing on a hill so I think shadows are making it look lower than it is. But it is lower than I thought it'd be. I think I'll be adding longer shackles soon.

    Anyone local interested in my retrofit kit? Just putting it out there, I may go back to stock headlights so I can accomodate dual batteries right there....don't really wanna, but if someone wanted to take my retrofit kit off my hands I'd consider it. But please consider that those sell regularly on here for 600+$$

    Shouldn't... Depends on where you mount the ballasts/control box, but there should be plenty of room in there...

    Oh you mean two on the same side?

    Better idea.

    Get the URD true CAI. Moves the whole Intake up in front of the radiator. Opens up the whole passenger side for a battery. My dad is gonna out one there. Plus evens out the weight better
