Are these used for a ceiling harness so you don't have to keep the back window open when suspending? What are these called? And where did you find these?

To answer your question for @SoCal …yes that’s exactly what it’s for.
I have the LANGE power hoist …..and the device to pull up from the back (window as you mentioned) wasn’t the greatest IMO…so I purchased this from topsy products, which comes as a kit also to be used with your Lange set up if you have it.
These hooks are much better and work great 👍

Nice. Like ur set up with the LOD rack and iKamper. How much height off the factory top did they add at highest point? did you also change suspension to handle the extra weight?

Let me measure that for you, I'm pretty sure it added ~30 inches at the highest point - the Jeep is *really* tall now.

I just ordered the 'Air Lift 1000' as it has been bottoming out/sags when we fully load it up and get off pavement - will be posting a follow-up with how that performs, hoping to install it in August.

Plan is to throw on a 3.5" lift in the fall, and hopefully drop the tent for the winter before picking up again next spring.

Tightened my lower ball joints....they were clicking like crazy. They were extremely loose from the factory, just beyond hand tight. I still have some minor clicking so I plan on doing the uppers next. My torque wrench wouldn't fit so I just tightened them until the clicking went away.

+30 inches? I was guessing 10-12 inches rack plus tent that added height above the top?
makes sense to add the air lift - looking forward to that install update
