these are auto levelling headlights on an import Chrysler. unless your headlights do this upon startup, they are not self levelling.

RULZ ARE:
  1. Don't take a half ton with 2 sleds on the deck in to B.C.
  2. If you have a 3/4 ton, put airbags on it, and they will leave you alone.
  3. don't wear white oakleys, have your offroad lights uncovered, jack up your 'coal roller' and have headlights pointing to the sky.
  4. Make sure your ch!t is tied down
  5. Be nice and courteous to the police
If you look like you need a ticket, they will issue a ticket.
In the last 13 years I have gone to the mountains, I got pulled over once because I had a burn't out trailer light.

so your saying if your 3/4 ton is overloaded according to b.c just put airbags on and screw it? I mean a few hundred pounds is one thing but you could easily be 1000lbs plus over. Saying its cool to overload a 3/4 ton but not a 1/2 ton weird.

If you must be skooled, so be it/

Can you count to eight Cyle?

If you can, then you know the difference between a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 or 1 ton.

Here's your only solution! Sell your deck\sleds\truck and don't bother risking going into BC again!

Not legal, you need hydrogen in the tires.

yep i bet it would be, i was looking at going to a 3/4 or 1 ton with a deck but decided easier just to get the trailer in the end. as even with the 1 ton your close with 2 big sleds on the deck.
