There's like 80 threads on this already.

Projectors
LEDs = no good
HIDs = good

My issue with the hids is that I have tried may types that they won't burn out or cause codes and never have I had any that last longer than 6 months. Even paying for higher end 750.00 sets. My trucks lights are horrible 2018 ram with projectors. It's the only thing I have found that I hate about the truck.

HID's are the way to go. I put the retrofit source Morimoto HID kit in my projectors in my 2017 RAM Power Wagon. They work great and are a Mopar specific kit with everything needed to make them plug and play so they work with our CANBUS system.

We offer these kits and of course offer a discount for the members here. PM me if your interested in a quote with your vehicle info and shipping address.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out what all I need to add 1 in to the rear now. If it's links and panhard bracket with longer springs or not.

Depends, you can go cheap with just a spacer on the rear coil OR you can do what you mentioned which is probably the better option but obviously more money. depends on how much you want to spend i guess. I am not 100% sure on what would be necessary to change. I could ask Don Thuren what he recommends of you like.

Yeah I won't do a spacer it will be springs.

My issue is that I want the same spring capability meaning I'm able to tow my TT and 5th wheel without the rear sitting lower than the front. I may just have to do air as much as I don't want too.

Air is awesome! I have an airlift system for towing my mobile detailing setup and 37ft camper

The day photo was before the lift, night shot was with them. Airlift 5000 is what I use. Air up/deflate next to the rear license place

Very nice! I'm thinking that I may go with somewhat of the same setup but maybe install an on board compressor and wireless switch to make it painless.

I thought about it. Can always add it I guess.. for now it takes 2 seconds to so at the shop! The onboard would be super nice though

Oh yeah for sure. Towing was easy and didnt phase the truck. I just have to remember to lower to about 10psi to get a good softening for daily driving[emoji106][emoji106]
