do you want to get yourself into trouble or out of trouble? my vote is for a winch. idk if you've been stuck in the mud or snow before, but you can get stuck in that stuff ALL DAY-- or longer. even if you have someone to pull you out (and they don't have a winch) there's still a possibility of that person getting stuck while trying to pull you out. this is where you really get screwed. sure, a locker can help get you out of snow or mud, but it can also get you deeper in (as others have stated). you'll also be able to hit harder trails (obviously). personally, i don't like pushing limits too far, or any intense "pucker factor." that's just me, and i'm scared of rolling over (which i have before lol)

i jumped on the PA wedge that i used. but that was on a different vehicle. maybe you can loosen it a lil by jamming the PA somehow, then moving the steering wheel back and forth. these things tend to slide out better if they're in the right position.

nah, it's not that easy. you'll need this bracket kit https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=2867 you can either buy that or steal it off a pathy at a junk yard. however it's very hard to remove those brackets. it'll take a lot of work and cutting. no, you can't go without it. if you just drill holes and stick bolts through the body, the weight of the carrier and the tire will rip off the sheet metal on the hinges. idk how much work it'll be since the bracket kit doesn't come with any instructions (i just bought it and have to install the spare tire carrier myself) but i'll let you guys know when i figure this out and get it done.

control arms. i actually recommend SuperLift upper control arms. they might be harder to find though. and i have Pro Comp ES9000 shocks on all 4 corners. lemme know of any other questions you might have. what year is your pathy, by the way?

whaddup, man? thanks for the comment. yeah, rolling sucked, but it's back on the road now so it's all good. i got the pieces for the suspension lift separately. rear coils are the front coils from a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ). they give u 3" lift in the rear. then i have Sway Away Torsion bars (from ruggedrocksoffroad.com) up front with Automotive Customizers (4x4parts.com) upper
