^^^ I guess I need to look up what shocks you have and make sure they will work as well.
These are the specs for my shocks using the 7" lift.
Front
Collapsed Length (IN): 19.57
Extended Length (IN): 30.31
Rear
Collapsed Length (IN): 20.37
Extended Length (IN): 31.93
You can install that tracbar now just don't cut it.

My 96 Ram didn't come with OEM fogs, i got an OEM switch and a pair of OEM replacement clear light housings. Got the switch installed in the dash, wired up exactly as factory, relay mounted and wired up to behind the front bumper. Just have to put the housings in now.

Whatever bulbs came with the housings for now. If i don't like them ill upgrade. I bought OEM plugs with pigtails also that way they will be plug and play and i can use the OEM style bulb. What has be confused is in the under hood fuse panel i have 2 relays that are labeled as fog lights and the 15 amp fuse is in the panel. I cant find any wiring in the dash or behind the front bumper even though it seems it was prewired?
These are what i went with. Im not really sure i like the clear look but we'll see. Worse case ill sell them and buy ones that look more like the OEM housings.

Today I finally finished pulling down that leentoo, I have a vid but I have to find a place that has wireless so I can upload it, Dialup won't cut it for vids.
A couple of pix anyway.

Yep and it sucks! I could go sat for a Isp but they want an arm and a leg and it's not worth it to me.
