    That makes it much, much easier. I would also consider ordering replacement bushings and sway bar end links. I broke one(age/rust) and replaced what I could. You don't have to, but it is easy. I will find out if I can grab the shop that day.

    May not work, but still better than a third gen :brianr:

    I'm sure @4WALKER and @Fenwick1993 would agree

    That is easy. I am not running an extended panhard or brake lines so that will be new to me. When you getting tires, after lift?

    Ordering tires on Friday. But they will be in Woodland Park till I pick them up. I will have to look up the panhard measurements, but it is supposed to help the rear flex a lot. Don't want to tear a brake line when flexing and it was recommended to get them.

    For Colorado:
    Homemade Trailer Requirements
    1. Weight Slip
    2. VIN Inspection - If the weight is over 2,000 lbs., it must be a certified VIN Inspection. Regular VIN Inspections can be done by or any licensed dealership.
    3. Dimensions (Example: 8 feet long by 6 feet wide.)
    4. Value (How much the trailer is worth)
    5. Secure and verifiable identification.

    I would probably do that route...

    I am only running 2 inches of lift. CV looks great, and brake line has tons of slack. You are doing it the right way. lol

    Cannot be any worse than my Grand Cherokee(SFA) w/ 3.5 suerflex coils and no sway bar. Drove it all over the place like that.

    I also have the 1" Diff Drop to install for it as well. I wanted to get 3" out of the front since the rear is 3.75". I am just doing the rear extended brake lines because of the superflex rear coils and no sway bars.
