Get the long arms if your going with a 4" lift the ride is way better. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I'm estimating I have about 500lbs of extra weight over a stocker. I usually tow a trailer for camping but added a roof basket for a trip that I didn't want to use the trailer on and could not have been happier with the ride while fully loaded with camping gear and three bikes on the hitch rack...

Completely unloaded I'd say it's a lot stiffer than stock but I'm never without my fullsize spare, some recovery gear and I have a hidden winch mount in the front with synthetic line. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I have IRO long arms and BDS 4" springs on mine and it rides great loaded down with camping gear. The unloaded on road ride is a little stiff but nothing I would complain about or trade for the extra load capacity of BDS. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I would do that to get it back on the road till you can get the cooler replaced. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

You should be safe with the aftermarket kit as long as you can get a good flare on the hard lines you cut. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I ran the OME HD springs for years in my WJ and towed a 5000 lb camper I wished I swapped them in sooner it was such an improvement.

Here's some picks of mine but I never got around to doing a build thread on it.

Replaced everything belt driven but the power steering pump to get ready for some summer trips. The water pump and AC compressor were leaking and I didn't trust the alternator to last much longer.

I found it on Amazon and the 4 people that reviewed it said it replaced the glass carafe without a problem.

That's a good upgrade I always worry about breaking the glass on mine. If it fits it should work do you have any measurements on it?

I'll put a vote in for the Duratraks. Great on road wet weather traction and they are great in the snow also. A very good compromise between full mud terrain and an all terrain tire I think.

I'm a side sleeper also but have never had a problem sleeping in my hammock and I think I wake up more rested with less sleep.

I was camping on the beach in Maryland and a storm came trough just before dinner and destroyed many ground tents. One of the boxy Coleman family tents next to us literally folded over with a big gust of wind. Our dome tent survived but just barely and I had sand anchors instead of regular tent...

I've cooked our thanksgiving turkey on the rotisserie for the last three years and everyone loves it. It gets a nice crisp skin and comes off really moist. Could be done outside over a campfire with a homemade or store bought setup but I would really want something electric to turn it though...
