Looking for a shop in the NYC area since I'm not really a DIY kinda guy

When you guys lower your truck, does the stock jack still fit underneath? Just something I thought about.

I replaced all my bulbs including the DRL with LED's and my jack is not under the truck but in the left side of the trunk behind the panel.

Yes when you lower your truck you will definitely have a harder ride but not too bad. That and with Low profile tires you feel the pot holes a lot more.

Good luck Mike

Oh, cool. I didn't know they had LED bulbs. So you didn't use the HID bulbs that came with your housing? And where did you get the housing for the parking lights?

Right, my jack is stored in the same spot as yours, I'm wondering with the truck sitting lower to the ground, would the OEM jack still fit underneath in case of a flat tire?

No I did use the HID's. I'm talking about all the other bulbs like DRL, Park, stop/tail, reverse and interiors.

Ah, nice! I'm sure that looks great!

And what about the housing for the indicator/parking lights? Did you find it on Ebay or somewhere else?

I havent lowered my truck, but there is no way i would trust the stock jack. I have a Craftsman floor jack that works great and takes up very little space in the back of the truck. I think i paid 30 bucks for it.
I got your pm, just cant access it on my laptop here at work, just let me know and I can help you out.
