Did this project kick anybody elses @$$ (those who aren't "REAL" mechanics)? I'm handy enough to install my own pipes and Stage 1 AC, but this project had me on my back almost the whole time!

Great Mods on the lights. I think I am going to do that.

Notice the angle of the pinch bolts in the 2nd photo in post #13 above.

I've taken them out and mocked them up and all the angles look fine. Tweakin told me the only thing he did was grind them down to fit closer to the trees, but it's only like a 1/8 gap which doesn't bother me. I just found someone else who has the same Drag specialties kit in the link below. My part number is 2020-0347.

Hickey has them!! And I think he's got a 08 SB

Safety?

I admit the signals look better mounted there.The problem is the signals tend to get washed out by the headlight and also can't be seen that well mounted that low.I highly recommend the Radiantz l.e.d rplacements with the "drugz" technology.You can't be cool when you're injured or dead.

This is the kit that I used, except having them go forward, i spun them around to get closer.
