This is just an opinion and this should in no way be taken as inflammatory, but bottom line is that this is not a reliable setup and I don’t see you having much fun with it. It does look cool as hell though.
You guys are for the most part running the same trails as us stockers and other than a few optional obstacles (that I never saw you try) there is not much you can do that a stock H2 with 37s can’t.
Given how far you drive and your need to have a decent chance of getting home you need to (a) get a trailer or (b) take the lift off and go to stock rims, HD tie-rods and 37s.

We did everything on the trails we ran except Hell's gate because of fear of gripping like Phil's did at the beginning decent and the hot tub because that had been done last trip. Everything else was taken in stride and harder lines were taken out of boredom. We could have wheeled more but- yes, the long trip home is more important than pushing it and Ken becomes understandably cautious after something goes wrong.
The lift gives you an advantage- in articulation and clearance. The tires though grippy are good, but I am considering a smaller tread.
I am happy with all except the extra play which makes it toe and possibly makes it more prone to half shaft and/or CV breakage. I am sure to find out the issue and resolve it.
