    Nothing wrong with it. Just had a hard time taking on someone elses project when I'm fully capable of building my own exactly how I want it. Plus the values of both weren't exactly equal.

    You will decide to swap, eventually. :p I think Yukon might make D44 Yukon hubs?

    I'm not sure they do, I did a quick look but didn't really find anything. The warn hubs treat me fine, even though I've read that they suck! They are a bitch to turn though... gotta use a pliers on mine haha :D

    I've blown up so many Warn hubs, I don't have high hopes for the 35 spline Warn Premiums I have :eek: I actually had better luck with Superwinch hubs believe it or not. Then again if your truck is offroad only, drive flanges are the strongest you can get and you'll be blowing up other stuff :rolleyes:

    Well that's a lot of unnecessary flex.

    properly retained and with a centering cone, the coil will go right back in every time. all of the land rovers i wheel with do that. they sit jsut barely above stock height, but have a foot and a half of drop. limiting factor is joints binding.

    did the same thing with my offroad trailer, and never had a spring reseat wrong after losing contact with the collar.

    all of the time. it's made multiple 1000+ mile single day trips, in addition to wheeling. i feel more comfortable pulling it than i ever did when it had leaf springs.

    edit: it has shocks now (not pictured), which really help it ride well.

    Why do you need that kind of articulation on a trailer? Why not just use a pintle hitch?

    I'm putting a max coupler on it for articulation. the suspension is for speed. i've pulled it up to 60 over rough terrain and through snady whoops, and it stays more leveled and bucks less than the truck.
