    i dont think so. rigid duallies are offroad lights and by law you have to have two headlights before you can have two offroad lights so its illegal

    hmmmmm but on the lense it says DOT approved :hmm:

    just aim them down properly so the glare isnt too bad.

    btw do you have to have bright lights to pass inspection or just headlights that work? I wonder if it would pass inspec with some rigids...

    theres no axle wrap what so ever. I dont know why i didnt put em on sooner. tranny shifts real good and solid. also with my new exhaust theres a lot less drone in the cab too :peace:

    the exhaust: i have to remove my tips so the traction bars could fit, so all i did was take two pieces of 2.5in pipe and cut em at 45* put em in the end of the muffler, weld a piece between em, weld a bracket to that and bolt it up so its not all sitting on my crossmember.

    and the traction bars keep my pinon straight. with a 5in block the axle can rotate with all the horsepower im making, AKA axle wrap

    Axle wrap - YouTube

    looks like that but my diff would pitch real bad when i throw it into gear too. not suppose to do that.

    so now it doesnt move at all, and I think it actually launches harder since more torque is put on the ground and not lost in drivetrain problems.

    its kinda like your wrist, you can move it freely but when trying to tighten a bolt you need to stiffen the wrist and use your whole arm for more torque.
