well for a tip on the lights, you may want to move the fogs to the lowest opening of your valence. Fog lights work best the lower they are to the ground. Even though it looks like you have them angled down it is still slightly defeating the purpose and effectiveness of fog lights. That position on the bumper however, is a good place for driving lights.

You got bit by the Rough Country/JCWhitney thing. Read up here....https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...estion-135458/
You need to remove those shocks ASAP before you ruin them or get a 4" bracket lift. You are hitting them on every bump that's why the ride is stiff. They are massively limiting travel.
There is no 3" lift for our trucks. That is the shock for a 4-5" bracket style lift which increases the compressed length by 4". Rough Country lists it as a 2-3" AND the 4-5" lift because they don't know what they are talking about. I tried to explain this to them but in the end I got a shock P/N from them that will work with ball joint spacers and is listed on our site.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is nothing but a bracket style lift that will make those shocks work on your truck. You need to return them right away because even if you got the bracket lift it will come with shocks anyway.

Godzilla - As far as the lights go, I was originally going to put them behind the valence but they were a little too big and the valence openings were too small. The lights are almost as bright as my headlights! They work really well where I put them; I'd like to keep them there too because i cut out spaced for them in the grill...

From: Cincinnati, Ohio - Amelia is the exact place. There is no one else on this site from where I am. Seems like everyone is from Cali or Washington. I guess I need to move.
Dude are you located in Boone, NC by any chance?
