Went wheeling today, hit a good dip got some air and hit pretty hard. Blew out a pro comp mono tube driver side shock and the back windshield is busted. As far as I know I don't see anything obviously messed up. I know I need to check the axels and the unibody and make sure they are straight, I just don't understand how I am to do so.
I know I need to get parked level and get a level but what do I measure? From where? And with the shock being out wont it make it unlevel when I try to measure it?

Will sitting outside exposed to uv rays be detrimental to the function of my synthetice winch rope? Should i get a cover for it? Unspool it when not in use? Thx in advance!

I was doing 25 or so through my neighborhood and stomped the pedal and the tires spun and chirped. So my question is, how do I tell if the tow package is after market or if it's regeared?

uhh...total loss of control and a fiery death?
if your springs aren't stiff enough the body roll will be immense and possibly catastrophic.

what does your question have to do with the statement you made before it? I'm confused what your question is and why you're asking it...
your "tow package" is likely just a trailer hitch the previous owner installed, and I seriously doubt it's been re-geared.

And if your hitch says u-haul or some other crap brand it's not factory.
A factory one will have Mopar stamped into it on the bottom
