I have the Pro level which is the one in the middle. As for not buying the Max version, I've always been extremely pleased with how the Pro level perform. Haven't ever wished the lights were brighter, there been some heavy snow conditions that being brighter might have been a hindrance.
As for the difference between DD SAE fogs, I'd buy them again without hesitation when comparing them to the OEMs with LED bulbs in them and other fog lights.
As for aiming them on a lifted vehicle, still aim them about an inch or two low at 25'-30'. Might have to tweek them once you see how the pattern is in front of the truck but for the most part the beam will stay below the fog light height in the bumper.
