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 my TF 2.5" BB on!

So with plenty of help, I got my BB on. We started about 11:00 and with a lunch break and some random tool runs, we finished about 6:00. Here's some pictures of the build. And thanks to WOL's write up-we would have been no where with the TF instructions. Not knocking TF, but the instructions could be a little more detailed.

Before (my dad and I):




Working:






And having to add wheel spacers the next day:


Afters:
Kicked the tires out just a bit with the spacers






Thanks again to Dave, my dad and boyfriend for all their help!

Nice Job! I have the same lift kit with the shocks. I'm waiting to get together with my bro and some friends to install it. Where did you find those instructions you were talking about?

Thanks!

Alien has the link to the write up that we used. Same thing-just print it out and go with it. I put the two instructions together for some steps, but I think it made it more confusing. I've been happy with it so far, rides pretty much stock and I don't notice it handle any different.

And Dave-I got your new socket, we just gotta do a M&G or something to get it back to you. Or I could go over there and get lost on base!

I do plan on going bigger on the tires, just not completly sure what size yet. And have to wait a while to save up the money. So for now, gotta keep it stock.
