Welcome from Utah.

I had the KC daylighters on mine, but for 1/10th the price you can get a pair of these from harbor freight.

thanks for the response guys. turns out theres a few little touches to it that need to be taken care of first before i put on any upgrades. the tires are huge and scrape the inside of the wheel well when i turn. i may hae to cut a bit out but ill have to see. will post pics soon

Welcome from Alberta.

What size tires do you have? Do you have aftermarket rims? A t-bar crank may help resolve the rubbing issue without needing to trim. It doesn't cost anything other than the allignment afterwards and can get you around 1.5" quite safely. You may still need to do some fender trimming, but I'd take other steps before I break out the sawzall.

havent looked at the exact size of the tires but they are quite big with american racing rims. and how much is a t-bar crank? and it will give me a 1.5" lift?

edit: nevermind about my dumb question haha, im not good with mechanics but i did some research and found out what a t-bar crank is. ill look into it and give it a try. thanks for the imput
