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.

It's just a "normal" arm kit (there is NO SUCH THING as a "short arm" kit for a JK). Long arm kits are not necessary on a JK. A long arm will give you a SLIGHTLY better ride on road, and if your a go fast person it will help with going fast off-road. If your a rock crawler the benefits aren't very much, decreases break over angle, weaker control arms. If you have a Quality 4" kit you will be just fine.

This is the only flex pic I have currently and it was the day I got my wheels & tires installed, so forgive the shitty cell pic. I tried to Photoshop it some to make it look better, but there's only so much you can do.

The passenger rear wheel is into the pinch seam in this pic. Also makes contact with the factory rear bumper a bit. Again, should be able to cure both issues with some bumpstop. Still have plenty of room to go in the front.

Edit: And the only reinforcement I've done thus far on the front axle is TeraFlex c-gussets.

RK 2.5" Stock Mod? Forgive me I R still NOOB. This is my first jeep as well .

Any more pics anybody? 4" Long arm on 37's flexed?
