This spot was actually in the first video that was filmed from the top of it. Which absolutely does no justice to it, especially from the bottom looking up. My line was straight up where I am standing on the right

Got bored today and finally got to work on my tire carrier. I have been debating on how to do it. This is not the permanent mount, it will be getting a trailer spindle, but right now its basically in double shear with 1/2" plate and a 5/8" bolt to swing on.
I needed to keep it nice and high to not drag the tire and wated it angled with the rear window. I think it worked out well

So I got another set of springs. Got my buddys older rubicon express springs, while they were still good. 3.5"
Sits a bit higher than I would like. It sits at a true 4.5" of lift, even with the spare on back. Im going to be building new shackle boxes to get the angle back, and to get it to sit lower. Id like it close to an inch lower out back.

The pic is a little deceiving. It looks level, but sits a bit rear high. Actually sits a bit over 2" taller than it used to be out back.

This is now the second time you've broken gears right? On the same axle?

Sorry should have said, that's the front 30.
This is the first gear breakage I've had actually. I'm honestly very impressed with how they held up. This is why I buy nitro gears.
