If I bought something like this:

Would I need the bumper mounts to tie all the way back in still? Or would the stock 3 mounting points be enough?

Are these two things worth worrying about if they fall within my budget? Any insight would certainly be appreciated.

Look at Treatwirghts https://www.treadwright.com/individu...ER-235-75R15-P I have had them on my Jeep for two years and they work great!

Well from looking JCR does their bumpers that way. I think I'll go that route.

Open up the diff and make sure the springs aren't broken, and that the gap between the two plates is within spec. Here was mine, gap was out of spec. Note the pin thats not in the hole.

Cool will do, this is how the locker looked before I put the axle under my jeep. It's done what I described ever since
