I think I'm just as excited to see these on your rig as you are!

They look pretty damn good! The color matched shroud sets it off, glad SRQ convinced me to do it instead of black.

Random question here: do you lock your hilift to your carrier? If so, how? I'm installing the swingout on my bumper next weekend and need ideas for jack-security

I run a cable lock through the spare tire, hilift and my trasharoo when it's on!

Never posted this, But I got a Panhard drop installed at Insain Fab. It's the kit from
@ eimkeith
. Didn't install the lift, wasn't super comfortable with just a butt weld holding it and also didn't feel like adding extra support etc. plus I don't think I even need it. Sits almost level with the axle.

Adding only the frame end will lower your roll center, and potentially cause your rig to feel more "tippy"- or top-heavy. Have you noticed any difference in handling since you installed the drop bracket?

I believe the opposite. Feels more sturdy, corners much better. Also doesn't wander on the highway at all anymore! I have no plan to install the other bracket.

Just an FYI. Raising the PH raises roll center. Glad to hear it feels better though!! I bet adding the lift bracket will make it feel even better though.

I said it raises RC; I meant it lowers RC. The tippy part still applies. Strange it affected/fixed wandering. Maybe because the PH was putting side/pre-load on the axle? Not sure on that one.

What bulbs and ballast do you have? Cause if that's the output of one side that's nuts and I need it.
