Which tank do you have Jeff? Do you have their 19 gallon EXT tank?

Their new Comp tanks are offered in a 20 & 23 gallon but you have to have CO's to run it according to their tank.

I wish this one would work on my TJ since it's $400 cheaper than the EXT tank.

Yes, that’s the tank I have. The other issue with the larger tanks (at least it used to be) was there was no room to get the exhaust past it. The smaller tanks like the 19 are angled on the front corners to allow for that.

I seen a dude use a Sawzall and grinder once lol
Hah just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done!

What's your uptravel limit, ie what is it that makes contact first? Was 5 your goal? What's the frame height at tcase?

I was goin for 4 or 5 and the upper rears arms contact first....even after l beat floor in....l gotta go a little more with the tub. Then the upper arm brackets on housing will hit tub on. The frame is 22-24 in l think l never put a tape on it the tcase is onlyabout 1 in lower then the frame....it will be a flat skid with 1 in drop
