JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Didn't see anything about sleeves or truss. You'll definitely want that with those tires. Those tires are going to be hungry for ball joints and wheel bearings! Nom nom nom.

The pinch seem needs to be trimmed. I am waiting to order the P.S. flat fenders and will do it at the same time. It would definitely rub if flexed it out right now.

I didn't weigh them but I'm sure they are at least 170lbs plus!

Honestly not bad at all. I will probably still do 5:13's but it is much better than I thought it would be, easy to live with.

I've done the C gussets so far, but have sleeves coming as well. My last rig with 20x12's and 38x15.5 MTZ lasted about 5k on the stock ball joints, that and the Howe ram assist are definitely on my short list. Even if you never planned to take it off road, the stock steering is so overwhelmed on the streets with the weight, ram assist is a must!
