    Make sure that lower control arm isn't contacting the shock on full droop. Looks pretty close on the last picture.

    It’s not. @dcsleeper408 trimmed some material off so it clears.

    Looks awesome man! Gota love new parts! I’m still saving up for my UCAs. Still not sure if I want to go Uniball or balljoint.
    Why did you choose the Balljoint over Uniball?

    She doesn’t miss a beat. Her quote “you looking at women doesn’t cost me as much”. Can’t argue with that.

    I love to make my truck my own. You can do what I do and have a Jeep for your wife. She loves it when I add stuff to the Jeep or at least that's what I've convinced myself. Lol

    Because I spend 99.9% on road. Ball joint has less maintenance because it’s a sealed unit. Also my coilivers aren’t extended. Uni-ball is for extended length coilivers. If you’re not sure get icons delta joint uca. Best of both worlds!

    So I ended up taking advantage of BF and got a pair of Squadron Pros to replace my sports in the stock fog location. All I can say is wow! I thought the sports were bright.

    Rocky_mtn has the link for the sports.
    I’m running the pros now
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/squadron-r-pro-pair-wide-cornering-amber.asp

    Either one you get if you want them in your factory fog location you need to get the fit kit.
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/product...-Current-Tundra-14-Current-Fog-Pocket-Kit.asp

    I wouldn’t recommend either to be ran in traffic but if you had to run one in traffic choose sports. But if u want the brightest light available get the pros!

    Hit up @Baja Designs , Bailey will take care of you.
