Went wheeling today, got some good pictures. Jeep did great. I think I might have maxed out my shocks.

Completed a lot on the hitch tire carrier, tomorrow just need to get some studs for the mount, drill the holes, and weld it to the carrier.

Thanks, I will keep that mind.
How do you like them?
They should be here tomorrow or Tuesday, and I want to have my Jeep back together by Friday for a camping trip. How long did the install take?

It can be done in about 3 hrs or less if u have help I did mine alone so first thing I did was mount the cross member. Drove around like that for a day. Hardest most time conauming part was taking the stud out of frame rail for crossmember mainly hard for mine cause I had the frame rail stiffeners so was a paon to drill the holes through frame rail for the side supports of crossmember. Need a 27/32 bit I think it is for the cruah sleeve.
