    The springs give a 1.6 inch lift alone so yes. I notice a difference but not as big as I thought.

    1.6 inch lift? Or dimensionally they are 1.6" longer. If they only happen to be 1.6" longer then that is the maximum they could potentially lift you. But the rate of the spring would also factor in when you put the weight of the truck on them, so dependent upon the rate and the overall length they could also ultimately provide little to no lift. Don't forget that they are brand new springs and they will likely settle in some too.

    idk about L.E.D's, I had them on these fog lights before my accident weren't as bright as I thought they would be.

    [​IMG]

    but I want to run my bottom corners as a fog light instead of DRL, if the output of the 3ks will burn the corners ill just get the fog light kit and remove those if I can.

    Are you looking for performance out of the fogs or just the look. If you want a true performing fog lamp, I would think that it's not the size, but how you use it. Typically fog lights are lower wattage than head lights, the idea being that you place the light low so that it doesn't reflect back at you.

    might do a krylic paint over the corner lights and switch out to the brightest L.E.D. bulb instead, thanks for the Idear :D

    Why paint? Just get the LEDs in the color you want. No sure how functional they will be as fog lights in those housings, but good luck and let me know how it turns out.

    instead of having that chrome effect i can just do the krylon stain glass yellow, its more for the rain really lol my headlights are all out of whack IDK if there actually set to where there supposed to be adjusted, i cant see to well in the rain, main purpose why I want to do them brighter, hopefully it works.
