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 Old Man Emu - Flex

Just installed the OME 2" lift that I bought from David at Northridge. I'm really satisfied with it so far. Here are some shots that I took during a test run:















Moved rear sway bar links to front and installed new ones in rear


Rear brake lines were stretched to the limit during full flex

It's the 619 front coils and 618 rear coils along with the N196 front shocks with the N198 rear shocks. I believe this is the Heavy Duty kit. I bought it from David at Northridge 4x4. It was missing the 1/2" front coil spacers that was mentioned would be included with the kit in the writeup. I'm also waiting for the Full-traction front and rear adjustable track bars.

I would say about 3 in the front and 2 1/2 inches in the rear. I didn't take exact measurements though but it looked much higher than before and you can feel the difference when entering and exiting the Jeep.

Call Teraflex and get some rear break line extensions. I used the extensions from their 2.5" BB kit and they work perfectly. They will sell them to you direct pretty cheap.
