I also love having the extra illumination with the Hellas. Get the 500ff (free form). They have more of a spread beam pattern like regular headlights. The regular 500s are just a spotlight....

Why would Hellas be illegal? They are not in Texas, but then again, most things aren't. All of those Yankee states have them weird laws about lights, tires sticking out, etc....LOL
That's cuz we know how to do manly things here in Texas, yessir!

The leveling kits aren't that bad. I put new coils in the truck in my garage. The coils cost 150 and the longer shocks are about 60. It's easier than people think and you don't need anything to decompress the coil springs. have the truck on stands and put a jack underneath the lower arm, after you disconnect the upper ball joint and tie rod end, just lower the jack slowly and there you go. Just make sure you index the spring in the lower seat like it should be. it's easy, if you decide to do it, pm me and i can help you out if you want.

Well, I looked around and the leveling kits are gonna cost more than I have. I was think ya know oh it will just be spacers and get it aligned. My stupidity showed (lol) when I found out I would need longer shocks. I'll prolly just get the Hella's and put 100w bulbs in em! I like to be able to see. If you guys think of any other mods I could do for less than a hundred bucks just post it up.

That would work RH if I lived somewhere with a larger population of more than 13k. I could always make the drive to Wichita (bout 30 miles) and pick one up, but then I gotta skimp on money to pay for gas to get there.
