I just got my box back from West Texas Offroad yesterday. Will be installing it within the next couple of weeks.
I have no experience installing one, so cannot be of any help. I do know that they have a great reputation and many wheelers give high recommendation to the RR System.

Here is a picture on how I got it shipped to me.

Are you upgrading your pump or installing a cooler? What was the turn around on getting your box back?

Installing a cooler, keeping the stock pump. Will upgrade if necessary later. I shipped the box on Thursday and got it back last night.
Box was all rusty and dirty when I shipped it. I came back clean.
BTW, I know you posted on JKO, I'm Dutchboy101 on the forum. I used to be hear, but they didn't like me anymore....

Check out Goody write up on JKO. Lot's of great information. I decided to ship it to WTO as i wanted to have it rebuild. The spare box I had was leaking.
I will attempt to rebuild mine in case issues arise with the one they shipped. At least I will know exactly where to port it.

Don't forget to get a tierod clamp to attach the RAM and I would upgrade your trackbar bracket, as there will be much more force put onto the stock bracket. If you haven't done so already.

Yea I'm throwing a pr44 on soon and having the synergy bracket welded on as we speak. Also have the synergy tie rod clamp. That should work right?
Isn't it great that you can say jko on here now?

Great to have the freedom of speech back again. Nice to be able to discuss other manufacturers besides all the sponsors here. I try to buy from all the vendors, but some were black listed that provide top notch parts and customer service.

You should be good with what you ordered, just tack the ram brackets in first on the trackbar bracket, before committing to it's location. You want to cycle it in correctly.
