"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike

It can be OK, there's not much there, I think.  Sunday was by far the most rigs I've ever seen there.  Some of the best built things I've seen at la grange also.  It's close, and it's a decent place to test, or just richard off for the day.

Ya you do NEED shocks! and throwing that extra 150 pounds at my tailgate did help out a little.
Yea, they are on order.  Helped a little, huh? Is that why you made me look like an ass :gap:

While your checking those u bolts check out the spring center pin. The U bolts may have come loose causing the center pin to shear or bend.
