Looks factory, Does it make it tongue light?
Observer
The tongue was heavy with the loaded box up front. The tire seemed to lighten it up again. Is there a rule of thumb as to how this should work. It seems somewhat balanced. Then again, my cooler sits toward the rear and it isn't loaded yet. That might make it tongue light...

Trip to a friends property north of Harrisburg, Pa.
Towed 3 hours each way. Pulled without issue!

Small Generator
Couldn't refuse. Before you knock it, it was on sale for $99 (Harbor Freight) with a 2 year store warranty for full replacement if quits for any reason. 800w/900 peak. 5 hours on 1/2 load. Looked like it had many solid reviews on line. Figured it might add a little extra for lights and other small devices. Plug in a power strip for a few extra plugs. Now I need to decide how to fit it in the puzzle of trailer supplies.

I have heard good and bad on the little HF generators.
I like the size and style.
I would test it out for several hours before a serious trip and run only high test and brand name oil mix.
Post your results.

Probably run it for a few hours this weekend when I kick on my deck lighting. I've read that a spark plug upgrade "E3" will make for better starts and smoother running.
Every once and a while it's fun to fish with a few night crawlers and good old bobber!

Looks good!
I hope to get mine out of the garage and actually use it in a couple weeks.

Ready for the next Phase
I was hoping to avoid an axle flip, although I am not totally against it.
Was wondering though, if it is possible to get approximately 2 additional inches using only longer rear spring shackles? Does anyone have a part number or model Jeep? that I could use the same parts from?
If so, would the new shocks I put on as OEM replacements still work?
Thanks

Shackle lift for every inch you only gain 1/2" is what I have read.
It sits nice and level with the hitch in the picture.
Very nice combo.
