Just be prepared to swap leaves around to get what you want, lol, I did it 3 times in 3 days. Have had it done for 2 weeks now and I am very happy with it now, rides a bit firmer but not to bad and I put the JK shocks on it, seems to be a pretty perfect combo for me.

Anyone know where I can get some 4" light globes? I have some light housings with no bulbs I want to use. They have a connector that looks like a standard 3 blade headlight connection, but cant seem to find a bulb that will fit (or a globe with changable bulb cartridge. My wife's Warn w520 globes look like they would fit, but I can't seem to find replacements).
These look old, so maybe there was a tiny round headlight in the past? I have 4 of them or so, and they're stout enough I can't think of too much that would break one, which is why I'd like to resurrect them.
The bulb/globe would look like a standard 5" or 6" round headlight, but 4". Of course, "cheap" would be better, as I have found rubber housed disposable lights for about $10 each (trucker's backup lights) that I could use if bulbs are too much.

I got 4.5 from the back I used a classic wagoneer donor from the junk yard had nice arch springs. I want to even it out in the front think the front is 4. I need to find shocks for the back any advice? I used f150 coils again from a donor at the local junkyard. Spent 40 dollars. On top of a matching d30 and d35. For 200.

How much would you pay for this junkyard upgrade?

I did plan on making a ram air box behind the grill and cutting a bigger hole behind the light to run the tubing to feed more colder air to my home brew intake, or should i say my new K&N CAI

What these guys said! Get a cowl snorkel, cutting the headlight area will get let water get to your filter easier.
