About these HID Extra lights..are they the headlights everyone is having problems with? I got the fog light kit from them and I haven't had any problems so I'm just wondering if it's the headlights people are having problems with or maybe the fogs or both?

 

i guess i got the best hid extra set...

 

Can't say I really regret any mods other than all the chrome accessories I bought for the truck.

But hey, it's had two completely different looks done and that was the old look (and it looked great)

 

albertaramfan i agree i think yourtruck looks or would look good without the chrome but different strokes for different folks still looks good.. ya mine would deff be hidextra hids so many problems its un real...

 

and steve 1990 i have 8 in my fogs from hids and 8 in my heads but the 8 in my heads dont even match up close to my fogs they said its the wayits supposed to be but i dotn like it.... at all my fogs are alot mre bluer than my heads almost seems like there are 6 in the heads.

 

I understand this but think about it, you're still putting the same angle on your control arms whether the key is holding the bar down or the bolt is holding the key up. Not sure its going to do anything for your suspension.

The keys are meant to rotate the torsion bar so that it puts more force on the control arm which in turn causes more downward force applied on the wheels which raises the front of the vehicle which means the angle of the control arms changed. I don't know what your referring to when you said "whether the key is holding the bar down or the bolt is holding the key up" as even with your truck on the lift there is still unsprung tension on the torsion bars, the keys are always resting on the adjustment bolts.

 

I was trying to say whether the aftermarket key is holding the pressure or the bolt on the stock key, wouldn't the front end in both situations be under the same load?

 

The bolt and leveling key are both under the same pressure as they would be with a stock key. More rotational tension is put on the torsion bar. The torsion bar will exert its energy into what ever is connected to it. Since the key is held in place by the adjustment bolt it can't rotate, but the control arm can. The torsion bar will rotate the control arm downward until it reaches its equilibrium point.

 

So by tightening the bolt with a stock key you are basically disabling the torsion bar suspension or maxing it out?
