I finally got it installed a couple of weeks ago, but the pics I have aren't very good. I will try to get some better pics this weekend.

I have to say, this housing is beefy!! I had Northridge4x4 weld on a Synergy TB mount and Evo LCA skids before they shipped it out. The rest of the install went smoother!! Handling is back to where it was with the geo correction brackets. One question... Is there a reason the LCA skids aren't installed or offered by Dynatrac? I'd expect this to be factory or at least an option.

A better solution is to raise the lower mounts so they don't hang below the axle. Gives you flatter arms for a better ride and better ground clearance.

Baby steps... I've owned a lot of Jeeps, but this is my first real off-roading and I'm building/rebuilding as I learn and go. Your recommendation makes sense. I'd like to hear from Dynatrac as to why they wouldn't offer this option.

Dynatrac will do whatever you want. You just need to watch your control arm length.

With so many different ways ProRock housings are offered, it's just not practical for us to include them, especially since not everyone installs those plates.

I can see that. Now that I've got everything installed, aligned and have driven it for a thousand miles or so, I really like how it handles. It now handles like when the geo brackets were installed on the OEM housing. Can't wait to test it out off the pavement!!
