    You want wide cornering in amber if you plan to use them for fogs. They have a wider pattern rather than a direct spot pattern

    The more I'm looking at things I think i might just put a set of small ditch lights on. I want them more or less for back country driving at night when no one else would be around anyway and I need to keep my eyes open for deer.

    Fogs always seemed nice because it has a wider throw anyway. This would probably be a cheaper alternative that works better in the long run

    Any idea how it compares to Baja s2 sports? The Baja looks a bit nicer but the Cali is about half the cost

    I think ditch lights are the worst area for lights. 50-75% of the light hits your hood and reflects up instead of out completely making them useless. Just my opinion. I never use mine even though I have them because they don’t do anything.

    I hear that from time to time. I think with some brackets that's likely. I have the CBI ones that mount under the cowl. My lights don't reflect off the hood at all.

    Maybe I missed it... did you get in a wreck? Why replacing some of the front end suspension?

    Nope, the OME nitrochargera are a bit tired and the 885's are sagging a bit and I already have a 1/2" spacers on it.

    Same here, except I have 886. 3 years and they sagged a lot. I have 1/4" spacers and just ordered an OME trim packer for the drivers side. I have a little over 30,000 miles on the lift.

    Damn. Seems way too soon.
    Mine had about 60k on them when I installed em. Got them used along with a few other things in trade at my first TW meet at LBL last year. I installed them about 30k ago and they don't seem to be a great deal different now. Marie did tell me that 885 coils would be stiff on a 4 banger, though.

    Ya I'd think you wouldn't get the sag with the 4cyl. Mine wasn't bad really till the skid and sliders for whatever reason put them over the edge
