Let's get this done and get you back on the road (or trail).
No biggie... I've been there with wisdom teeth... no fun

If she's cool with you leaving for a little, then thats great. Feel free to bring the boys over if you'd like. Otherwise, I completely understand if you need to stay home.

The only real big task is getting the carrier back in, other than that () things should be pretty straight forward.

Till you can do something with the drag link, I'd recommend leaving the drop bracket. Drop pitman arm + no drop bracket = trackbar and drag link will no longer be parallel. If you want to ditch the drop bracket, get you the JKS trackbar brace and weld that on - it lets you raise the trackbar mounting point on the axle side up higher and then you can ditch the drop bracket. Here's the product:

I also got my JKS bump stops today

But, I'll probably wait until the Jeep is all functional again before attempting the install.

I cannot remember how much extra travel I have, so I'll need to get my Jeep out and fully flex it and take a tape measure to things before installing the adjustable bump stops.

RTV... I guess that's silicon

It's the red high temp RTV. I've used it before for making a gasket for the diff.

I'm going to pick up an extra can of brake cleaner (you can never have too much) and maybe extra diff fluid (in case we go spilling our lubricants on the floor again )
