Heck yes, first to the forum. Well done and can't wait for mine to be delivered. Any tips besides getting it up on a lift (not that I will but maybe I'll get some ramps if that would help)?
I've been considering these on my OBX SAS for awhile now. Keep finding myself in situations where one wheel is pretty high off the ground when crawling (Bronco gets through it fine, hasn't held me back at all). My dilemma is that between those rocks is typically some fast portions of trails...
Up and down mountain passes here in Colorado (trailer weighs 2800 lb dry), and managed 13 mpg on the way to camp and a whopping 15 mpg on the way home. It was more down than up on the way home but followed a semi and stayed closer to 60 mph.

Thanks for the positive feedback. It was a really fun project! I could go on and on about everything I did and how I went about it. There were only 3 requirements when we were trying to decide what to do for a camper because as you said the options are endless.

(Last year before the 35s and new hitch)

Yup, installing the struts (with old brackets) was actually the first time I put the top down (thanks Colorado winter) and one of the sides did not latch down. So I had to adjust the fully lowered latches both, and then had to adjust the halfway back latches. None of which had anything to do...
