Great list, definitely a must when winching. I went a different route and eliminated them all together. Cut them off and added 1/2” plate to bolt a winch plate on. Was able to weld them against the body mount that passes through the frame.
Mine is a Badlands V6. Like the others stated, the transfer case skid should have stayed on unless you purchased the Transfer case skid also. The electric swaybar skid is no longer needed.
Seen another video of this. Looks like he got off the road and his tire got caught in a little ditch and pulled him into the guard rail. Broken tie rod is just an excuse for poor driving.
I run 37” Coopers E rated at 20psi for dessert and light rocks. Good at 100mph. I run 15psi if I don’t plan on jumping and staying under 50 mph. Try something close to that.
I run the 37/13.50 Cooper E rated. Fine tire at 30 psi they run smooth. You need to drop them below 13 to get any real flex out of them. Have held up great after thousands of hard off road miles.
Great to see these are still available for so cheap. But It kills me every time I see these and the coil overs so cheap. I was one of the few who paid retail a few years ago. Have held up great after a lot of hard miles.
