    ?!?!!?!!! You did a run at main divide last night? Nice. Yea. Alot of people dont suggest it, but I do, if your gonna use them for offroading get the 55w. I was in Ocotillo a couple weeks ago and did some night runs with my 55w hi/low + 35w fogs and I was very comfy driving in complete darkness. They're freakin awesome.

    I was in the same situation.. I went with the suspension first so I could get the most expensive thing out of the way then add all the smaller details. I say go with the suspension because the stock halogen headlights are pretty bright already

    Go for the HIDs! Not expensive and definitely gives your truck a new look. I am actually surprised you went with HID off-road lights before you got them for your heads and fogs haha. Just aim them down a bit since you will be lifted and you'll be in the clear!

    Go with the 5k or 6k 35w or if you want crazy bright go with 55w. I got the 6k 35w from ddm and they are awsome. I have a set of projection headlights and still get flashed, but not often. I would prob. go with the 5k if you want the best visibility during rain/snow. The 6k seems to wash out a little during rain, I guess because it has a slight hit of blue? But all in all get some you will be glad you did!!!!!!

    He Offroads, the 8k will do him no good as far as visibility through dust. I would get something in the 4500 - 6k, Yellow would probably give you the best visibility in snow, rain, and dust, But I would put those in the Hellas

    Why dont you save yourself alot of money and just wait for Slimcubby to have another group buy on them. They are great and are really inexpensive.
