    3 on the driverside and 1 on passenger. I think it comes out to like 3/4" lift.

    Added some high mileage sea foam in my gas tank. I normally do it once a year/once every 10k miles.
    Why? Because I had $12 burning a whole in my pocket.

    Honestly, I never noticed the lean when stock. It may have leaned driver side like many say they do but I never specifically looked for it and if it was there it wasn't pronounced enough for me to notice it. It's my wife's daily driver.

    I still went with the recommended 3/1 on the spring clips and she sits level left to right now as well. I also purchased them from Shock Surplus.

    I got it off Ebay. Another Chinese import:

    https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=+LED+Trunk+Tail+lights+3rd+Brake+Stop+Lamp&_sacat=0

    Depending on your model, they do have the 2 button version or keyhole version.

    As far as installation goes, you have to remove the hatch cover, rear black garnish, reattach all the stuff to it, snake the wires up through that upper driver side pillar, and connect it to the rear tail lights. There isn't a any vid (or any last time I looked) on how to install this item. BUT, if you search YT on how to remove the rear garnish, follow that example. It takes a little time to do, but I personally like it.

    On my 2020 if you’re driving with the lights on, you can use the brightness dial to adjust the dash lights up all the way up it will stop but if you continue to roll it up it will click up and the dash light will be full day brightness.

    They work fine for what I wanted them for (ventilation when parked and add'l ventilation when driving). The low-profile ones don't stick out like the others. I got the tape-on ones, because the last few sets of in-channel ones I've gotten caused issues with the windows being able to go all the way up. Plus, the tape-on ones cover more of the door, the in-channel ones only go so far as the channel.

    Finished installing the switch panel today and mounted some ditch lights. Had to cut down the provided bolts for the lights so they wouldn't rub. Tomorrow we will work on installing the on-board air.

    I don't think that would be legal here in the great Commonwealth of Virginia, because the exhaust would exit under the vehicle (fumes could get inside). Not saying they would, just that exiting UNDER the vehicle instead of OUTSIDE of it would probably fail a state safety inspection.
