How do you like the tune?

 

Thanks for sharing. This is aspirational. Does archive garage deliver on their claims?

 

I really like it. Shifting is the biggest improvement, although the HP gain is a plus.

 

The Hammer Hangers make a big difference, the rear of the truck feels a lot better on big hits and heavy side loads. The Archive bump stops are night and day difference from the stock bump stops.

 

I didn’t know that headstrong had a 3 leaf aal. How does the rear ride with that? Also what needed up being the total lift in the rear with the hammer hangers?

 

HS 3 Leaf AAL adds 1.5" lift, Hammer Hangers and Shackles are stock height.

The HS AAL improves the rear suspension if your goal is offroad performance, which is mine. They recommend removing the stock overload spring, which I did. I do not carry heavy loads or tow a heavy trailer. So for me, it's what I was looking for. I rides a little softer with a nice progression on big hits. The stock leaf pack with the overload felt really stiff on big hits because I normally only carry about 75 lbs of gear in the back.

 

Can’t wait to get her dirty. ;-)

 

Congrats dude! Keep us posted once you do. Curious how mud looks on that thing.

 

Sort of reminds me time to have a mountain dew.

 

Your truck looks fantastic. I'm loving Lunar Rock.

 

Need to get a new cool pose pic now that I have an armored bumper on.

 

While I don’t enjoy the frequency of washes my truck requires, I was able to do a custom take on my wheels with some bronze.

 

Beauty over comfort! Looks awesome.

 

Not the OP and not a Pro owner, but I have these exact covers on my OEM Pro fogs. The Rigid would need to be abraded off somehow.

Are you looking for looks or performance? The Rigids haven’t tested nearly as well as the DD units and the covers will no doubt reduce performance. They look great, though. I got my pair as a birthday gift and am very pleased with them. They fit excellent.

 

I was hoping for both. Decreased performance makes sense, unfortunately. I wish there were aftermarket lights that fit the pro profile, yet worked better. As for the label: damn. If it’s a thin layer, I have 1-10k sandpaper that might do the trick…

 

I don’t disagree with you there. The color is nice but any time you tint a lens you lose output. I still prefer the covers versus non-covers for poor weather and aesthetics.

My understanding is that this is an SAE/DOT unit and are limited in ways the non-SAE/DOT units are not. I’ve seen posts of people using regular SR-M lamps with the Pro mounts but have no direct experience or links handy.

 

That's a good lead for me, though. I'll of course dive deep into that when I'm supposed to be working.

 

Do the Dew!!!

 

I'll guess I'll add my PRO's pic here. Been a lot of talk in this thread of price vs OR. Current and in recent years.
So I'll add my price in to the mix also. Ordered (got allocation) of the truck early 2020. Received early/mid 2020.
MSRP $48,084. Paid $44,500. $3,500 under MSRP.

 

Hot damn, and for an automatic transmission? Also, I love the OEM pro wheels to the extent that I haven't even considered swapping them out, but yours look fantastic.
