Dropped off the Jeep yesterday . I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.

I had to use a Snatch Block and Winch to get the ProRock loaded on the trailer.


It worked well, it took longer to rig everything than it did to load the axle.

Congrats on the mighty fine build. Your going to love it. Those axles will handle your 37s all day long. I should know....been running this set up for over 2 1/2 years now with no issues and I've wheeled the snot out of them. Enjoy!!!

I'm glad to hear that it will be reliable.

I bought the coils used as I am planning on going to coilovers in the next year or two. I'll give my feedback on the spring shock setup once it is driving.
