I am super happy with my new BOR Flex-E leafpacks I got from Big Offroad (see YellaHeep or BigOffroad.com to get some). They ride very smooth and do a good job of flexing. I can't wait to see how much better they get as they break in.

Overall with my build I am happy. I definately want to get rid of the A/T's i exchange for either some 35 or 37 BFG M/T's. I got the tires for really cheap and figured I give them a shot, but I liked the performance of my BFG's much better. I also think I shouild have gone with a locker upfront instead of a limited slip. The Detroit Tru-trac is nice, but a locker would have been a bit better. I think I'm going to save up for that Eaton E-Locker. As for the PowerTrax No-Slip out back, I couldn't be happier. That thing does great. I'm actually thinking of keeping after I get my Super8.8 kit, originally I was thinking of swapping out to a full spool but I am very happy with my No-Slip.

I am definately going to have to get a spring retainer, it never fell out but one of them did come unseated and I had to use my Hi-Lift to raise up the vehicle and reseat the spring. I'm also going to switchout to a Heim-Joint steering setup in the next week or two.

After that its on to rocker guards and a rear bumper w/ tire carrier.

Great build man, I'm coming home from Iraq and going to Portland, OR in about 2 months where i have a lot of stuff waiting to install. So now that I read your build I'm to excited to go to sleep, so thank you! haha Looks good and glad to see some mountains and Jeeps going over them! Make sure you keep posting up some pics of your trips!

The D-rings are off of a HMMWV, I'll be using those and the correct brackets on the rear bumper I make.
