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.

Looks good. How do you like the clutch hill holder feature? I disabled mine, found out it was actually causing the brakes to slightly drag 100% of the time.

How much lift did you gain off of the springs and shocks?

I couldn't get used to it because there is a slight resistance off the line. I've been driving manuals for 25+ years; it was unnatural. Try disabling it and see if you get increased flat terrain rolling. The moment I disabled mine it was like night and day difference. It felt like I gained 10 HP, the Jeep was more peppier and it just felt right.

just the rubi springs/shocks?

2" in front, 1.25" in rear

but my Sport had the weakest springs.. thats why.

i figure my jeep is just at oem Rubi height now, but i could be wrong. maybe its even taller.

HSA Off
If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow this
procedure:
1. Start with the engine off and vehicle in PARK (automatic
transmission) or NEUTRAL with clutch out
(manual transmission) with wheels straight. Apply parking
brake on manual transmission vehicle.
2. Start the engine.
3. With the engine running, the brake applied, and the
clutch out, rotate the steering wheel 180° counterclockwise
from center.
4. Press the ESC OFF switch four times within twenty
seconds.
5. Rotate the steering wheel 360° clockwise (180° clockwise
from center).
6. Cycle ignition switch OFF then ON.
7. If the sequence was completed properly, the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will blink several
times to confirm HSA is off.
Steps 1-7 must be completed within 90 seconds to turn off
HSA. Repeat steps 1-7 to re-enable HSA functionality.

Do exactly as it says; it will disengage.
