The jeep ride was interesting. Found a couple of weak links. Changed trac loc to Grizzly locker, axles to RCV, hubs to Yukon hardcore.

Looks awesome!

Can you provide more details about your lift? Did you shift your front axle forward at all? For the rear axle I'd imagine you did the 4" shackle flip, but did you have to shim the rear axle?

Any details on the wheels? (size, specs) Looks like maybe you are using spacers in the rear?

I used ORD 4inch front springs,shackles etc. The center pin is moved so the axle is 1inch forward. I used a 6 degree shim in rear with a shackle flip. The wheels are Trailworthy Fab recentered hmmv wheels PVC inserts for the double beadlock. No spacers.
