    Those YJ Springs might be on the stiff side. Coming from a former YJ owner that had 4 inch lift Springs and went to 2 inch springs. Much better. XJ stock leafs are even better.

    I will note that, but following a few of the builds on here, they have used these YJ springs and seem to be okay with them. If they do really start to suck, I can always swap them

    We accidentally measured and cut the tubes incorrectly so now the axle is too short... about 4" too short..

    So,

    Will be sending it back and picking up a new one.

    BUT it's looking great!!

    Total trailer length will be 11'
    Tub dimensions 72"L x 52"W

    Haha! Yeah.. we didn't cut the 48" crossmemebers first and when we finished cutting all the angles we put it together and realized we screwed it up but that extra 4" of room might be nice and now the trailer will match the width of the truck too. it was originally going to be narrower
