Cut the extended bumpstops and there is now 1.5 inch air gap. Going to test it out in a bit.

Get a jack or fork lift, disco the sway bar and pick one side up at a time. The progressive bags you have should collapse some as weight is put onto them so 1.5 may be fine depending how much you bottom out

What do you guys think of the sylvania ZXEs. Can get $20 off from advance auto with coupons so $40 ain't bad. Not sure if HiDs will work well in the hella e code housings plus hid bulbs are bananas in price

Alright, so i dont know if this started recently or not but yesterday i was on the highway going about 75. let off the gas and i instantly slowed down to 60....going downhill.....coasting. it was like driving a golf cart down a hill that has a governer or a limiter on it, it felt like something was pulling me back, my driveshaft was making a grinding noise I THINK. thing is...when i was going 50 i let off and i coasted fine, no abrute slowing down. :/

I have the HD harness and ran 90/100w bulbs but they burn out faster than sylvanias. I'm debating if I should so an hid kit or go with the ZXEs. I'm doing the xtravision a now since one of the 90 watters blew. They were awesome at first but got dim fast

Hella 90/100w bulbs. Ran them twice. First time lasted about 8 months. Second set latested less. That's when I went with the sylvania xtravision but now that they have dimmed from normal usage, they don't really work well in dim lit areas. Debating to get the ZXEs or not. Just curious their life span. $40 ain't too bad
