I was going to buy some way back when but i never got around to it. never knew how good they would look with a lifted truck.

I may now have to go buy them because they look B.A.

I was under the truck and i believe the kit come with side tubes that are only 4 feet long. did you guys that have them put longer ones on.

i think that if i put them to the under the cab, the box wont have any light under it besides the rear bar?



Do you guys think i should paint my calipers, drums, and springs blue or red, Truck is black with chrome rocker panels chrome fender trim and machined and black rims

I only have the 4' tubes in. There is still some light that makes it's way to the rear tire... it's just not as bright as directly under the tube. They sell extra 1' tubes you can use to fill that short gap between the rear tire and the cab - but I ended up using mine inside the cab because I thought there was enough light without them. I'll try and get another picture from the side so you can see what it looks like....

As for caliper color... I would go with red.

This is kind of off topic, but speaking of headlights, I saw somebody who put LED's in his head and tailights that flashed with his security system. Like the little blue light with a viper system on the inside, except he had all of his lights blinking. Would have definently guessed he had a security system. You should do that too. I might....

End- That could of been me. I have been linking headlight leds to my alarm in my cars for over 4 years and I think I posted a few pics of my trucks setup in this forums before but Here are two pics of my truck again for referance.

Front headlight is Alarm led, underbody was just on, not linked to alarm. Taillight is linked to alarm also.

Dont' know if you saw the thread where I bought mine from a member... took over 4 months to settle the transaction. Blah! At least it worked out in the end.

If I was ever to do it again... I would just go straight to the store. I ordered some new parts to make sure I had a good setup (ECU & display). Oz ended up sending me an extra ECU, display, and two remotes trying to diagnose a problem. So... I now have two working ECUs, two displays, and two new remotes. They didn't charge me a dime for any of it! They have the best customer service... and I will save myself some hassle and just buy from teh store from now on. They have definitely earned my biz.

Yea, I meet this member in person when he came to STL. He had a few tubes laying around from when he pulled the kit of his car. I figured he seemed cool enough.. at least I have his Cell Phone #.
