[RAM-ROD]

Replace oil pan.
Replace rear axle seals...again.

Wish list that should happen:

New steering.

Wish list that I hope can happen:

Flat skid plate.
Control arms and track bars.

replace hitch and add a few reinforcements.
fill propane
give entire rig a good look over.

Trailer:
New tires.
Bearings repack.
See if golf cart will fit on it.

I hope it is better than an XJ, i always pulled them on stuff with around 6" lifts and they came right out. I had to disconnect everything from the axle minus control arms to get the one off the wifes jeep with 3" lift.

The first time I did it, I had the front axle out for that swap and it was still a PITA to get those dumb exhaust bolts on the late model stuff with all the pre cats...

With stock arms, the front doesn't flex down very far to start with on its own.
