nice tails. I believe you got exactly same one as mine. good choice

The LED lights in the tails really stands out in the night. I like my taillights better in the night time than day time.

I am not really fond of euro tails, but this one is on the par and like I said the LEDs are really nice so that is what made me stick with those tails.

Those factory sway bars don't allow much flex... surprises me actually you'd lift a wheel off the ground like that.

My wheels are always coming off the ground. There's no more down travel in the suspension not even sure if its the sway bar fault. I need lockers for sure or I'll always be getting stuck.
