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 Lift decisions Help!!

I am Looking to get a lift within the next few days!

Im just curious to witch you guys prefer. I have 300 to spend. And am looking to fit 35's

The two I was looking at are these.

or

My Buddy gave me his old black diamond spacers before he traded in his jeep a few years ago. I put them on my old jeep and never had a problem.. Heres how his jeep sat with the 2" black Diamond spacers and 33's


Heres how 35's fit with those black diamond spacers on my old jeep. I guess my question is, do I NEED all the extra stuff the TF lift comes with? I did some pretty hard wheeling without them and never had a problem. But I now have a 2012 jeep and am a little more cautious towards breaking it

I'm adding the Terraflex 2.5" BB next. It seems to be the top recommended basic lift with minimal need for other required mods. There's a few places around town here that all recommended the same kit too, which really cemented it for me.

Any wheel spacers? Or do the wheels have a particular backspacing to keep from rubbing? The jeep ( and wife) look great!

They come with a backspacing that was right for the tire and lift.
