    Ha....you need the 3 ton. The 1.5 is good for smaller cars though.

    I would think the 1.5 is fine for lifting 1 corner at a time ?

    If the amber backlight works as a DRL when they’re used as fog lights I’m pretty much sold. My truck has the oem 2019 led fog & headlights, so I’m hesitant to change from the all white temp, but inner JDM fanboi says add all the yellow & amber possible :rofl:— it would appear they do. Damn this place is tempting my wallet at every turn.IMG_6612.png

    They are amber backlit when fogs are not on. The backlight turns off when fogs are turned on.

    Edit.....mine are the Pro's.

    The Sports might not be much of an upgrade over your OEM LED fogs but the Pro and Max models would. I put the SS3 Pro Yellow non-backlit on my Tundra and my wife's TrailBoss, when my wife who isn't a car person explains how much better she likes the new fogs in rain and snow you know they are good lol

    Sport price was already pushing it, not sure if $500 for the PRO is worth the move when the truck already has LED. I appreciate the input.

    Only drove it for a few miles and nothing popped up. I doubt there will be issues but will update if there is.

    Found this at the bottom of the driveway today after work (drove Camry to work). Apparently what I thought was a short slip on black ice while pulling out of a parking spot yesterday a few miles from home...was actually this guy. Drug it all the way home & it finally fell off when I pulled in driveway. I had no clue.

    That’s crazy, did the bottom bolt fall out that attaches it to the axle? Hopefully it’s still under warranty for you.

    Believe it or not, both mounting bolts are still on the truck.
    The only thing that makes sense, is the eyelet on the shock main body broke, swung down and was drug for about six or 7 miles Before the piston finally snapped just above the eyelet. Your guess is as good as mine how the top one snapped bc, to my shame, zero offloading, zero wheeling. They’ve been on for almost 3 years, so I highly doubt they’re under warranty still. Though I still have to check.

    One year warranty, so nope!
    Yeah it’s really weird. I’m just glad nothing worse happened. The reservoir looks to be intact, so I should only have to buy a new shock. Lucky, because they don’t make adjustable remote reservoir shocks anymore! Waiting for Accutune to get back to me.

    I appreciate it, but I think that money would serve the truck better going towards a transmission cooler kit & other future maintenance. She’s a 2019 with almost 200k:spending:
