New toys installed pics
So after a years worth of sagging rear springs, I finally ordered the full RE 3.5" The removal of the old pair was quite the pain, had to buy an angle grinder and cut through the leaf, then through the bushing. PITA, and what a mess. the end rusult is nice though. heres a few pics of the new leaf packs and some other goodies, including the new mud terrains and wheels





Next up we've got the JKS sway bar discos, what an easy addition that was, finished in about 45 minutes.



New front diff skid, inside that diff is the Aussie Locker, not a bad install.



Cleaned up the underside, painted the axles and whatnot


Also put new axle seals and bearings in the rear


How she's sitting now

Do you have a locker in the 8.25? Or just the aussie in the front?

looks like he made a mounting point on the front skid where they can be kept when unhooked?

That would make sense! I see it now that you say that!

His are disconnected and hooked onto a mounting bolt on the frame that keeps the links up and out of the way while wheeling. Yours are connected. that is the main difference.

Also, his are mounted to the swaybar correctly, yours arent.

The top of the link mount is supposed to be on top of the swaybar and bolted down through it. Yours is mounted to the bottom and bolted up through the link. You might not have any issues if you used big washers and grade 8 hardware but I would probably mount them the proper way since it is much stronger.
