    Installed a DDM 5000k HID kit.

    I also figured out my clunking issue coming from the front passenger side. The bushings are shot in the UCA resulting in some stress on the ball joint. There is nearly 1/4 of an inch of play when turning the wheel. I'm ordering a new upper control arm/ ball joint assembly. I think I'm going with the MOOG brand because it's only $30 more. Anyone use them yet?

    You must explain why you are not going with the JBA UCA's and don't say money...... That replaceable upgraded ball joint is worth the extra coin and the corrected angles are a plus.... Smell some over time coming your way buddy hahhahah

    Kind of ironic... turns out that the "feel & look" is killing me. All that extra armor (combined with the other stuff) made my front end sag something horrible, to the point that it seriously bothers me.

    So today... I ordered some parts to correct that.
