nope, it will never see a trailer, jeeps aren't supposed to tow stuff.

it will have a D-Ring in it, and thats about it. Plus there is more bracketry to be done.

Bah! I've heard Jeeps suck *** for towing big trailers, but I'll tow small ---- with mine. Dirt bikes and stuff are light enough. If I ever bail myself out of debt I'll get back into working on mine. How did that long arm setup workout for you? What kind of srpings are you running with it? You have leafs in the back, don't you?

yeah, rear leafs.

the longarms work great, it rides alot better and i max out my shocks in suspension travel, so thats the next upgrade, after i focus on new rear leafs and fixing my shackle angles so the rear will travel better...

for springs ive got rough country 4.5" coils, they aren't bad...they haven't sagged yet and they are a decent compromise of soft and stiff. I am planning on adding JKS Adjustable spacers to give me a minimum of another 1.25" lift and adjsutability if it ever falls out of level. Someday when I have alot of cash to blow and a second car I'll do a triangulated 4-link rear and ditch the leafs, but probably no time soon.

Those adjustable spacers are stupid expensive. I wouldn't spend the money on them. Do you disconnect your sways when you off-road?

The adjustables arent that expensive, I've seen used sets run $85 and I think I can get a new set for $125.

I like it. Are you going to cap the ends and powder coat the entire thing?
