They're a no name product from fleabay. Appear to be a knockoff version of Total Chaos UCAs.

here's a link and a thread from another forum.

Seriously, is there anything you do to your truck that nobody could like? Fantastic work! That spoiler really looks good on it. I didn't like the sound of it while reading but it fits great![/QUOTE]

Thanks! I wanted a spoiler, but my old Roush one didn't fit anymore. The other ones looked kind of cheesy on these bed covers. I know it's sacrilege, but I thought the Ram SRT-10 spoiler looked the best.

Are you using CCFL or LEDs for halos?

Not so much today as Saturday.
Replaced all 8 COPs and lo and behold, my hesitation is GONE!!!
Turns out the number 5 coil was bad so I could have gotten away with just replacing that ONE, but since I was able to get all eight from Amazon, I thought, why not?

Got it. You have any pics during the day with the lights off?

Finally got around to lowering my spare and taking a look at my FPDM -- it was clean as a whistle, which was not particularly surprising given the fact that my truck is a total garage queen. However, just to be on the safe side I shimmed it out with a 5/16" stainless nut and a couple of 1/4" stainless washers -- this holds the unit a good 1/4" off the frame rail, but still seems to provide a decent enough "bite" for the mounting bolts. I may still break down and pop for the actual Ford stand-off bolts but I guess it doesn't really matter that much since you can't even see the thing unless the spare tire is lowered.

Same thing when I checked mine last year.. Sucker looked brandy new but I got a good deal on an OEM one from 88racing so I decided to replace it anyways. After all, it was a 10yr old part at the time. Now I've got some piece of mind too.
