Pretty much all roads and streets in Canada are like offroading they are 70+ years old with extreme and rapid winter and temperature fluctuations severly weakening roads then heavy trucks up to 70% heavier than US bridge laws allow, often running 20% overweigh on top of it .....totally destroy roads.

Pot hole repair tech is still 1945 where snow clearing rip the plugs out along with more ashfalt LOL.

This is where $10K coilovers come into play not to mention 90% plus of roads are dirt roads haha.
I understand where you are coming from.

The 10 miles of holed and wash boarded dirt road from my property to town is why I'm seriously considering spending $6K on coil overs for my Bronco,

My Bronco (HOSS 2.0) literally bounces sideways on certain sections, Ride would smooth out if I could go faster but that's not possible due to other factors.

Just curious what tire pressure you're running? I would try around 30 and see if it helps.

I like to chime in every now and then and report that my Oracle's from 2023 are still working great no issues.

30 might work well for the dirt road but then I would have to air up for the 60 miles on pavement to get to the stores

I do not see a DOT, SAE, or FMVSS 108 compliance claim for any of your lights on the website.

Are these lights legal for street use?

If they are not, that may create liability issues after a rear-end collision, especially if the other side argues the aftermarket lamps were noncompliant or affected visibility. Even if the lights did not cause the crash, you have now given an insurer or attorney something to either deny the claim or come after you personally.

Honestly not really, it'll be fine. Haven't aired mine up past 28 in months. 😂

Same. Wifey runs at 23 and 25 psi. I’m at 26 and 28. Reference the load chart for your tires and run the pressure there until you change the weight drastically.
