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.

The set up is great for so many options. Ride is so great and the wheeling is awesome. You can set it up in so many variations. Most running the system aroung here run 37's, but have wheeled with a EVO and 33's. You cannot go wrong with this setup.

12-14" is plenty unless you want to try and wheel a "Monster Jeep"

you probably could but anything longer than 14" and your drivelines will binding up. besides, i think you will find that 14" will give you plenty of flex

I know that Gen Right makes coilover towers that mount in the engine bay with a cross brace. Although I havent seen any JKs using it im sure it could still be done. They have plenty of tj's and lj's running 16" coilovers up front... not sure about 18" though.

Here are a few recent shots of us going through Doran Canyon's gate keeper. Mind you, we are running 40" tires and as you can see, the rocks are a bit bigger than them. And, as you can see, we are still all four on the floor....







BTW - i am running limiting straps front and rear to help prevent driveline bind and to keep the front shaft from making contact with the exhaust crossover.
