Extended my stock sway bar links. Made a noticeable difference. Rears came out perfect, front will get a version 2.0 in the near future. 6ae8c1b2902e3614127840d611102679.jpg

I had my roof wrapped in satin black today. What a great change it made to the truck. My wife liked it so much we scheduled her Challenger to be done tomorrow. Very professional job, they even removed the sat antenna so no cut lines or edges would be seen. Check it out!

How much did you add?
Exactly 1" to both the front and rear.

The fronts match perfectly to the 1/2" solid stock in diameter. The rears looked to be about 3/8", the 5/16 stuff I used was a bit small. I'll get you a length on them this afternoon.

This morning, I installed a set of smoked LED license plate lights I ordered through eBay. Here’s the link if anyone is interested.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/183442025807

It wasn’t a bad job, it took about 15-20 minutes. The metal retaining clips weren’t too difficult to get out but they fought me the entire time trying to get them back in. You just have to be patient and hold the lights tightly while reinstalling the clips.

These lights are set up like the OLED Recon taillights; the wire from the light plugs into the light socket where the OEM bulb goes and then the socket plugs right into the housing like the OEM does. I zip tied the modules up out of the way around the license plate light wiring harness.

This is the retainer clip. Look up under your rear bumper and you’ll see the gray metal edge of the clip that holds the light assembly in. I used a plastic pry tool to pull them out and they popped right out with a little prying.

(I tested each side before I reinstalled the clips) They work great and I really like the way they look.

Now I need to upgrade my reverse light bulbs so I can actually see behind me at night when backing up. Any suggestions?

Awesome. Thank you!

No problem! I spent alot of time sifting through the threads just to find a simple answer. They are 17$ on Amazon right now. Huge difference, to the point I don't feel the need to add led pods, eventually I will but these made a significant difference.

I'm trying to convert a few things to leds, did they have bulb replacement available for the license plate bulbs?

The new ones I installed were the first thing I found for the license plate lights. As far as individual LED bulbs go, I found these.

There’s also complete LED assemblies without the tinted lens.

I did the Luyed ones from Amazon. They work well. As far as extra back up lights, I just added the Putco blade, it's quite bright. I don't have a pic of it in reverse because I can no longer set the brake, put it in reverse and walk away. I'll get the wife to help tomorrow. The whole thing turns white. Clames over 2000 LEDs.ebbed6fda431773a16c94a6a3e8fd3a3.jpge1fdd29cc9cb0b6f05e9729ad27aee82.jpg
