PIAA's in mine as well.
I'd just get the PIAA's, they're only $167 for a pair on Amazon. No sense in skimping; you'll just get less light output, less reliability, and the Ion Crystals work great in wet weather. You really need yellow for fog lights or there's no point in having fog lights at all.

The holes in the bumper fit a 4" light, so the LF's will not fit for use as fog lights. For driving lights I highly recommend either the 170's, or if you really want to throw some light get the 240's. I had 7" PIAA's and they were nothing compared to my 240's.
Disclaimer: The dimensions of the fog light holes on the 3rd gen may differ. Though I can guarantee they won't fit a 5.5" light unless you want it to be mounted behind the opening. That doesn't sound ideal though.

Out of curiousity, why? Price increase coming?
Have a bumper on order but was holding off on getting the lights until the bumper had shipped...

Only because they take forever. Mine took 6 months.

I agree but only if you order them from SW because they never send them with the bumper. Mine were drop shipped from China 2 weeks after the bumper came. They make a great bumper, but have piss-poor business practices.
However, why order it from SW when Amazon has them for cheaper and you can get them in a few days? I only ordered mine from SW because I assumed they would be on the same pallet. Learn from my mistakes.
No sense in paying SW more for the same product.

Call them up and see if they will cancel the lights on your order. Pick up the PIAA's from Amazon and get some LightForce's instead for your driving lights. They absolutely blow the PIAA's away.

Yea ill try that out, I ordered it with the PIAA 4" 510 White Driving in bumper PIAA 580 7" Xtreme White Driving on top. Also, Would it be a good idea to get the body lift and/or shackles from shrockworks?

They don't sell body lifts. The body lift option when ordering is only for the brackets on the bumper to accommodate one that's already installed. If you don't already have a body lift, then ignore those options.
If you ever do a body lift after you install the bumper, don't do more than 1/2" or 3/4" or your bumper will have a large gap. I have a 1" body lift and it was a PITA to drill out the holes to make them longer so the bumper sits higher.
These are the shackles I got. Cheaper, faster, same thing.

I also use some rubber isolators on mine so they don't rattle when I drive. They look like big rubber washers.

Had to dig up my invoice from over a year ago.
For anyone interested in using shackles on their bumper I highly recommend these D-Ring isolators.
D-Ring Isolators, Rubber, 1 pair 5314
Price is per pair. If you want them relatively silent, get 4 pairs. If you want them to be absolutely immobile and not make a sound, grab 6 pairs. I have a total of 6 pairs on mine. (Total of 12 washers, 6 on each side... 3 on each side of the shackle mounts of the bumper making a sandwich).
Depends how OCD/anal you are. Rattles drive me insane.
Post # 62 shows a picture of how they are sandwiched inside of the shackles.

Maybe Shrockworks has gotten better on their service, I ordered my Sliders and got them a week later, and ordered my bumper at the same time, I explained to Jim that I would like it in 1month for an upcoming trip and exactly one month later it was ready... I also ordered the lights the day I picked up the Bumper and 5days later the lights were ready.
I read about the long wait times people had for Shrockworks products and when I ordered my bumper and sliders I was prepared for a long wait, but luckily they came thru for me.
I talked to some of the fabricaters at shrockworks and they told me when everything was falling behind was due to their shop relocating.

I think you just got lucky because I ordered a bumper and sliders in September, and will get the sliders in a week and the bumper at Christmas time.
