Thanks, I cheated on this one and bought a pre-made light. The one I originally built sequenced from the center out with turns and brake lights but I kept having issues with the sequential modules so I finally removed and replaced that one.

I should probably clarify, the internals I bought, I still had to open and install it into my existing light.

Spent some time cleaning up two of the wheels today while I had them off. I can’t believe how neglectful the previous owner was. They were so dirty, I didn’t even realize there were machined pockets on the sides of the spokes. (Clean photos are screen grabs from a video)IMG_5649.jpegIMG_5650.jpeg

Here’s one I hadn’t cleaned yet:

I’ll post a photo of the whole truck with the before and after tomorrow :)

And turned a street corner on ~32" tires? Not without a lot of fender well modding. @Doug118's is static dropped a little more than most here. Maybe he can give you a few pointers.
I wasn’t serious. I had just installed the front coilovers, guessed at the height, and then loaded all the weight to the front to settle them. In the previous photo, the rear is jacked up by the hitch, facing downhill. I skinned the tire just pulling out of the driveway to turn the truck around :anitoof:

After adjusting the height, we ended up something more like this:

Comes out to right at a 4” drop up front. I still need to do some tweaking. I also need to do the free travel mod still. I ran out of time last night. I’m hoping that will allow the rear to settle another 1/2”, and I’ll be happy. I may end up looking for some Jeep springs for the rear, thanks to a wise wizard :)
