I ended up doing the short. Took everything apart, cleaned, painted (on a part-time trail rig...?). Right now it is sitting HIGH. I'm hoping it settles. I put it above the overload. Took it out in the field and it didn't seem overly bumpy. Rear fender lip is 36.5" from ground on axle centerline and front fender lip is 34.5" on axle centerline. Bottom of hitch went from 17 3/4 to over 21". BTW...I notched the lower part of my bumper to recess the hitch so it doesn't sit as low as everyone elses.

I'll get pics tomorrow and try to post soon.

Now...I need to get more front lift on the cheap....Hmmmm. At least the bumper won't drag like it did last weekend w/ tools and stuff in the back.

What's this thing going to look like with a 2" BL...?
