    Thanks. I know everyone has had different experiences with vibes. I've read where guys have had to remove shims and/or carrier bearing drop kits to get rid of the vibes they were fighting.
    Or they did nothing at all and were fine.

    It seems to me that something would need to be done because of the geometry change. Of course if I want to put my shims in now, it will be a project. I'll see what it feels like this week to and from work.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I used a 2" bi-metal holesaw and a dremel to notch out the square edge of the trailer harness. Added some heavy duty RTV sealant, and called it good.

    I mounted it to the left of the license plate.

    im on a 6+ month road trip and picked up this tool box for $100, put all my gear aside from clothes and dry food into the tool box opening up the inside of my truck.
    have to remount the spare tire(its in the bed) so i can mount my cooler back down.

    Got it aligned today after yesterday's lift. Everything went to spec easily. I gained an extra inch behind the front tires, for a total of 3". Now I'm ready for new shoes.

    installed my new rock sliders from Cruisin Offroad and tested them out. unfortunately they don't prevent bad driving or bad spotting. that being said, i probably didnt belong in the places i went. DCLB following short ass jeeps with many more mods than i, up a rock road.
