Brad, since I raised the issue of "blue dots", I guess I should explain. Blue dot lenses are just small blue dots about the size of a dime that are installed in the middle of the regular red lens on

Rob or Jeremy.....could one of you guys explain the "Steering Stabilizer Kit"? I haven't heard of it. Is it for rodders (ie, an IFS)...or is it for stock trucks? What does it do, and what's the cost?
