Just got the lift kit in, hope to install this weekend if the weather plays nice. Will do the work myself, hardest part looks to be cutting the retaining ring off the stock leaf. Everything is still clean & newish so I shouldn’t have to deal with dirty, stuck, rusted stock hardware. In all...

So far so good. I only had the stock bulbs for a few weeks, but the visibility of the new lights is far better. My brights are still stock and I can definitely tell a difference when I toggle the brights on vs the new low beams.
