That's good to see they sit well i might try going with z71 springs and see how they are. also did they bring your rear ride height up?

yeah rust is a pain, but as i have been replacing things i have been sanding and re painting other parts as well with the rust reformer paint. soon i will do the whole under body.

z71's normally bring up the ride height... especially on an airride equipped vehicle with blown bags.

I trimmed two coils off of mine. Its actually slightly lower now. Need to do the free travel mod next. Rear is more planted and a bit stiffer certainly than before.

part 2
led fogs

i didnt have to make any custom mount just reuse the factory mount after removing the original fog light base and all worked just right.
i added in male connectors to make everything plug and play. the 7 inch bars fit in just right with some room to spare.

That's exactly how I mounted mine. I've got a set of single row lights in there now... But thinking about swapping them out for a dual row like yours to fill out the hole better.

nice i was thinking at first to do 2 single rows on each side 1 spot and 1 flood but i just ended up going with the double rows.
