    Just an observation but it looks like your brake lines are limiting your downward travel on your rear end. Check the gap in the picture between the bump stops and the plates on your rear diff. I need to lengthen mine as well.

    Thanks for the model info. Are you stock rear suspension pulling that thing or in not what’s your setup? I’m planning to get something similar and I’m trying to plan ahead on rear suspension setup. Thanks in advance!

    What airbags are those and are those the daystar cradles? I’m considering airbags. How do you like them? Any off-road issues?

    Installed a full size 255/75R17 spare on matching Rock Warrior wheel in the stock location. Did some precision adjusting of the guides using BFH.

    I saw here or a vendors site somewhere but where or who was it that sold the ditch light brackets that had 2 mounting spots on a single bracket. Was thinking bout mounting cb/ham antenna on them along w/ ditch lights.
    I can't think who it was for the life of me. Better yet are they even available anymore.

    Lines aren’t limiting, at least 6 inches more before they are taunt, my leafs are my limiting factor. I don’t have bump stops, those are floating airbags

    No issues off-road, just adjust pressure if you want more travel. I’ve been running bags with cradles for over 7 years

    They are the Firestone bags

    Rented the press from autozone, but the cups were not the right size. So after fucking with it forever I put one of the oversized cups on a jack and put it under the ball joint and put pressure on it. Smacked it with a 4lb hammer until it came out. It sucked.

    Also I heated it up with an oxy acetylene torch. Would not recommend. The fucker blew up and it sounded like a gun shot lol. My ears were ringing.

    I cut mine off out of necessity. I was backing off a good sized obstacle (tip over challenge in Moab) and had a rock shove my pipe under my tire.

    Find the right cup, you'll need it, but the jack under the joint with a big ass hammer did the trick. Getting it in wasn't any easier. And make sure its completely straight when you press it back in, it can become cockeyed in there and fuck your day up

    They're good tires especially for the price. All 4 mounted and balanced was like 750

    How do they ride on the road? I’m on the road 90% of the time. Only off-road a couple times a year. Trying to decide between airbags and new leaf springs like HD Dakar. I pull fairly heavy trailer more than I off-road.
