Cavfab makes the kit. It really is a work of art. Laser cut, press bent, beautiful welds, and excellent geometry. I've said it before, but craftsmanship is top notch. This very same 3 link is actually one of the prizes up for grabs on the website this month.

Jeepology,
I don't normally read many build threads unless they're front & center on the thread list so it was a real pleasure to read some of yours this morning. All I can say is, nice rig, man! Great to see some entrepreneurial spirit too.

Thanks fellas, I feel like I can finally see the light. Time to wrench is such a rarity as I'm gettting married in November. HAVE to have this thing done before that.
Tough to give an exact amount, but honestly no noticeable difference in height from the old RE shackles. Never heard a single complaint about the BW shackles and I'm not aware of a beefier, more awesome shackle design out there

Should come as no surprise more changes were made. Dropped the JCR Vanguard and replaced with a JCR Defender. Wanting to keep this build fairly low and approach angle/COG will be much better. This one will be getting the Monstaliner treatment as well. Oh and I'll still be running a winch
Picked up a Warn M8000 for a steal of a deal - got some synthetic line on the way for it. I didnt expect that much noticeable difference between this and the VR8000, but even just the overall feel of the parts and the small details are so much higher on the M8000
With the goal of keeping this thing low, the front wheel wells will need reworked. This will help clear up some space for moving stuff around under the hood.
Finally got the bumper all put together. JCR calls this their bomb-proof spindle. I haven't seen anyone running a 37 on the Vanguard carrier yet so this will be the test.
Also got the JCR sliders installed.
