Added the teraflex leveling kit, 2" at the front and 1.5" at the rear, also added the mopar lower control arms up front and an adjustable panhard, drives really nice, probably need longer shocks though.

Easy enough, the front I dropped the control arms and panhard anyway so easy, the rear I put on spring compressors as I was getting lazy and didn't want to unbolt all the stuff it mentions in the instructions ;) Still took me 6 hours as I'm old :)

Good to know, I might look into spring compressors.

Yeah don't pull people out in reverse and don't move/try to tow while winching. You can damage your diffs and your winch

Understand.... but it was one of those no option kinda things..... I just can't leave someone stranded....
Sorry it happened to you but thanks for sharing. I will definitely remember no pulling in reverse.

Brother if you needed a pull and my only option was reverse while winching I would still take the chance to get you out.... Just can't leave someone behind.... I will do it differently if it happens again...

Get a kinetic rope for next time. Or use a snatch block.

@wibornz wasn't a planned recovery or offroad experience. I was on my way to Charleston WV for work, of course I carry the bare minimum for wheelin' and sleepin'. If it was a planned adventure things would have went different.... LoL just sayin'
