    haha not really. I'm trying to get around $300 for my LF240s, I can pick up some KCs or Knockoffs cheap, I already have the HID kits, just need $20 for the H3 bulbs, then the 50" LED bar on Amazon for around $300, plus mounts... I should be able to do it for around $250, with the new grill

    Going to postpone the Camburgs for now. I'm getting a set of factory tails to replace my crappy burnt out leds (smoked already) some 30% Window Tint, an AAL for the back, and am looking at the Viair 150psi 2 gal kit.
    Amazon has it for $186 and the compressor itself sells for $130. The kit includes the tank and has everything pre-wired. I need to add an on/off switch, power/ground, and I'm good to go. It'll fit just right in my tool box. Out of site and out of the weather too.

    That'll let me wire up the Hammer 3 horns I got for $25 and have on-board air for tires and everything else.

    train horns are awesome!

    my buddy had a set on his GMC. did the same kind of set up youre thinking about. he put the tank/compressor in his tool box and wired an on/off switch into his center console.

    I might get a small 2 gal tank to start, then run a 5g under the bed. It'd be sweet to have enough air to run an impact to take my lugs off.

    Debating about wheel adapters also,, just don't like my wheels sticking out so far.

    those horror stories you hear of studs breaking and wheels falling off just worry me about spacers/adapters :shrug:

    then again there's always that one guy that says "i've never had a problem with mine, you're just stupid"

    Before and After AAL Measurements.
    Rear Fender: 40" ---- 42.25"
    Tow Hitch: 18.5"--- 21"

    Raised the rear roughly 2.5", will probably settle down to 2". No noticeable difference in ride quality, even with completely blown out rear shocks. pics to come
