is it a trail rig or your DD?

if its your DD i would go with a selectable locker (arb,e-locker...)
or an auto locker (aussie, lockright...)

spool it and never look back.

Here's the rear frame coated and new suspension installed. Pre 33's.

Most likely a trail rig now. Spooling the rear axle seems to be the cheapest way to go. Need something to keep these 33's lined up.

it limits axle wrap

also, that is the factory setup

.............. um thats a purdy oil stain on the floor

just a little coolant actually. fixed a small leak in the lower hose.

as far as the shocks go, you are correct, that's the stock setup. works fine.
