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 will be on soon! Need help with wheels

I will be installing my lift on my 2013 Orange Crush Sahara this weekend. Completely lost of which wheels will look goood. Any ideas or pictures out there???? The Sahara has the painted orange flares. Also a little undecided on 17's or 18's.

What size lift, what size tires, do you want bead locks? Tons of brands to pick from!

Have you taught about re-gearing. There is alot of chatter that when you go to 35 you will need to re-gear because there is a different rotation/stree on your axal with 35's that may cause problems

I had a 2010 JKU Sahara with 4" Rancho long arm suspension & 37X12.50R18 BFG KM2 tires with stock 3.73's and it was a lil sluggish but was just fine without re gearing (rolled Sahara, own rubicon now) My rubi has 315/70R17 Goodyear Duratrac tires and stock 4.10s and she just great!
