I keep telling myself and everyone that asks that a lift is not practical since it's my work truck...but as time passes I keep looking at lift kits and wanting one. STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE ME! Haha, but really...I don't know if I can hold out. A 6" lift is so appealing.
Just lift it! but do 8in save you the time and money. I went from 6ins to 8in because i wanted to be taller than 6in lifts plus i want 37s
Got around to installing my new little project today. Here's the unveil: Picked up 5 clearance lights, each with 6 LEDS. They're universal, made for trailers, trucks, campers, big rigs, etc. Got them pretty cheap too from my friends store at cost. These are normally mounted to a metal surface since one bolt grounds each light, meaning there isn't a ground wire per say. Figure I'd do a mini how-to. First step was to find the center point of the front plastic molding below the bumper. Easy with a license plate that's already centered right there. I tape the lights up where I thought they would look best. I ended up spacing them 6" apart. I wanted them more on the front and not really on the curve of the plastic molding. I drilled the hole for the positive wire 1/2" above the bottom edge of the molding After drilling and mounting each light, it was time to wire them. I started with grounds. What I did was crimp a terminal on my own wiring to bolt on the backside of the plastic molding bumper piece on each grounding bolt on the lights. What I did, starting from passenger side to drivers side was bolt the ground terminals from light 1, to 2, to 3, 4, then 5 and from there up to the engine bay where I grounded it to the chassis. I did basically the same thing with the positive leads coming off each light. I used my own wiring and spliced each lead into it, then ran one end up to the drivers side DRL and spliced into the turn on wire at the bulb harness end. FYI, there are 3 wires on the harness, green/white, black, and grey. The wire you want is the grey one. I soldered the positive wire into it. This way the new lights will come on when my DRLs are on. All done wiring What do you guys think? I love them.
