What size lights are those behind the grill? I'm wanting to get some when I get new heads but I know the '97-'98 grill is a little smaller than the rest.

Here's a question for yall.
How is it that a 3" BL allows the same tire size as a 6" suspension lift?
I recently bought a 3" BL, but found a deal on a used 6" fabtech, and couldn't pass it up.
I like the look of a filled wheelwell, and I'm worried that the 6" suspension is gonna make 35s look small.

Thanks RedRider and five0merc. How'd you guys mount them? Just to that plastic piece behind the grill?

JNC, the 6" kit is a little taller. But when guys crank their torsion bars all the way down and get an AAL or bigger block they look similiar. Honestly, if you have the fabtech i'd throw that on before the body lift. A fabtech and 35s look perfect, but if you want more tire you could always go with a 36. Plus if you put the fabtech on first, you shouldn't have to worry about trimming any plastic for now.

I took two peices of angle iron and mounted to the top and bottom of the metal support in front of the radiator. it was about 16 inches I think. Then I just drilled a whole in that for the light to mount to. I will try to get some pictures for you today.

Yeah I just mounted it to the plastic but the problem is its not as sturdy as I thought it would be. they Bounce up and down when your offroading.

That's what I was looking at first and didnt want mine bouncing or breaking off in the cold. So had to figure out how to mount them and that is the best I could come up with.
