Yea if vintage air works good. I'll be happy with it overall, was frustrated with it in beginning with rear bracket wrong and them telling us its being installed wrong when knew it wasn't being installed wrong. And was missing a part. But they sent part overnight. And I will keep the pics coming as more stuff gets done.

axles were gutted and everything replaced. Got the weld on frame brace for gearbox frame wasn't cracked. Just added protection. Got it from offroad design
