But not so much on ice... Though, that could be due to the fact I'm running them at like 45 - 48 PSI
Oh air those down to 35psi max for the winter time. I run mine at 36psi all the time.

I plan on getting the sylvania silverstar ultras $60 for 2. are these 2 bulbs (per side) headlights? like 4 all together?

think im going to get canadian tire to aim them for another $60.
I would get someone to aim the headlights. Then if you have an andvance auto parts or can get them online they have a 25% off sale on both the regular and ultra silverstars. They are priced at US$27.88 for regular silverstars and US$35.88 for ultra silverstars. Otherwise get the head lights as best as possible and get some fog/driving lights and mount them on the front bumper. Oh and the tires should be fine. I think that price might be a little high for a headlight alignment, look for some local coupons too.

anyone know whether I need to buy 2 or 4 bulbs?

I would guess 4, but I just want to make sure.

And then 2 of whatever the stock fog light bulbs are if you have those and are wanting to replace them (it looks like you have them but I am not sure). Check out sylvania.com for a list of all the bulbs in your truck.

Should be 880's or 881's for the fog/driving lights...

The Sylvania site lists both... So they're wither the same bulb, just one being slightly brighter/different light pattern output, or it's hit or miss...

You can always look at the back of the bulb while you're changing out your headlights, lol.

They're probably the same bulb then... Kinda like 9003's and H4's...

H4's have better output than 9003's even though they're supposedly the same bulb...

880 and 881's probably have a different focal point... That's why you'll see some driving/fog lights that shine light farther than others, even though it's the same housings...

I've noticed that the most on the '05 style Chev's and GM's... Some spit light a lot farther than others in the same housing...
