Overall,I'm pleased with the new set up.I'll start with the good.Love the Rough Country long arms,nice ride on the hwy and great trail flex.No bump steer and no vibs .Love the front slectable ARB and the lock out hubs.Very happy with the 513 gears.

The issues:
Lost MPG:( Averaged 13 mpg before the swap.Now it's at 11.5 mpg.
The rear springs are flattening out and flexing upward like there weak.:confused: This caused the pinion angle to be way off.At times the two yokes were contacting.I'm calling Rough Country first thing tuesday.
The rear wheel seals are still seeping.
The front tires are hitting the rear part of the fender when flexed out.

Happy to be out of the garage and on the trail.Even know it was just for a day.

Back to the garage.
