Now thats a nice looking car lol...Yes still on AHC...They are dobinsons springs on painted AHC shocks in that photo... I was experimenting woth different spring configurations.... the AHC didn't take well to the stiff springs being their for 2 in lift...so I went back to factory springs...if they were factoryspec it may have worked better... but it was very wishy washy... i do have 80 series springs in the rear which seem to be working out well as I'm lifted above their capacity which allows me to go into L

Diff drop up front?
Was under the vehicle to adjust the headlight linkage after bumper install and noticed some more LCDC damage that I never saw. Apparently bent my shock armor so far back that it was contacting the bottom of the rear shock at full compression and beginning to take metal off. I can't bend 1/4" stainless with what I have at home so pulled it off and left it with a friend so he could put it on the press at his work.

Maybe bent but we both got home and then noticed. Likely a different story w/o the armor. Not sure how the shock would do taking the load that bent the guard.
It’s only weird if it doesn’t work
I cannot deny using a block of wood as a jack spacer.

Look at the brightside, the jack wasn't Harbor Fright.4x4, 6x6 or 8x8 sure, but 2x4?
Props for Pressure treated though.

This is a poor design leaving the front panel cantilevered way out there. That front/deformed panel needs stiffening. If your buddy has the means to weld stainless, you might have them add a brace.

Anyone know why or how this might have happened? Is this little arm’s bushings supposed to be pressed in?
I just found a spot with service. We just finished up Muddy Creek Trail, about 1.5 hours outside of Moab, near Goblin Valley. Camping here as we speak.
Finding a break in the shade where the kids could get out and play for a bit, I thought I noticed something funny looking under the front end of my rig. Something hanging that shouldn’t be. Sure enough...
