I thought a lot about this. I was thinking the same thing. The issue is when you tighten the coils they are compressing tighter because they are being forced down because the bottom doesn't move. Make since?

I spent the evening wiring and more wiring. I finally wired my tire carrier up for led lights, an ORO license plate light and 3rd brake light, I ran the cb antenna wire through the tailgate, and I wired a new dedicated run off the spod for the arb 50q fridge. I wired 2 5" led round lights on the pillars. I drilled and bolted the front pinch seams from where I cut the old bolts out. I then ran a dedicated run from the spod to the CB. Trying to get the final things situated before the Rubi run in less then 2 weeks! Tomorrow week be to install a new crossmember and evo protek crossmember skid!

Had a great time yesterday at Browns Camp. Diez did great and is just about ready for a run through the Rubi.
I did airplane, 7up, tried can opener. Airplane did my brand new protek crossmember skid and my factory tcase skid. 7up was crazy steep!

Looks like fun. I'm really excited to make it up there and wheel. Unfortunately, if I get mud on my jeep I'll need to sell it.

I've been working quite a bit on Diez the past few days ironing out a few bugs. I ordered a rock hard t-case skid, rock krawler rear lower arms, (I need to adjust my pinion angle a bit to eliminate a vibration from the yoke actually pointing up about 3 degrees from the Driveshaft) I wired in an arb twin compressor and cleaned up all my light and spod wiring. I also placed an order for my rock lights! Things seem to be coming together. I'm looking forward to a few days away from work wheeling with great friends and family!

Really digging the amount of extra coverage the rock hard skid adds and is much heavier duty then the protek skids I have. After 30 mins with a sledge hammer I was able to straighten my protek crossmember skid. Just v need to bolt them back up then off to installing my new rock krawler lower rear arms!
