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.

Default Got the lift/wheels/tires on!

Installed my RC 4" lift and wheel/tire package yesterday! Not too bad to install. The instructions could use a little work but all in all not bad. Took me about 7 hours by myself and this was the first lift kit I have ever installed. Front springs were the hardest part. If I had to do it again I think I could do it under 5 hours and with another person to help and twice the tools probably under 4...close to 3 maybe.

Anyway, I am completely satisfied with the lift so far. Well, the only thing I really didn't like about it was the front brake lines. They just need to inlcude some SS lines with them and this kit would be a lot better IMHO.

I elected not to do the cam bolts and will be installing some X-Flex LCA's as soon as they get here.

I will post back up with some pics as soon as I get them of the digi cam and hosted somewhere. Then in a week or so with an update on ride satisfaction, etc.

With the 4" lift and 325/70-17 Terra Grapplers I got right at 6" of total lift. So, I'm pretty happy with that!

Now I'm thinking about getting the RC 1.25" body lift. Anyone else do this? Is it worth it or really noticeable being only 1.25"?

Thanks for moving this. After I posted I wondered if it was in the proper section.
