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.

Not sure if the 35" will fit with the original Mopar rims, maybe they are not large enough for 35" tires.

Just another question. Is there any difference between the oldmanemu Springs from the Rubicon and the X or sahara model. Asking, because here in europe they make the difference between Rubicon and Sahara springs when I´m going to buy an oldmanemu kit.

Wow I was close! I should have measured them before hand but that sounds similar to what others have posted as getting after installing OME. It will probably sag a little and will drop especially once I get a new front bumper and winch.

I like that a lot! I think it even looks good with the stock rubber. I will be curious to know what kind of hit your mpg takes.

RubyRed44 is running 35" BFG KM2s on his stock wheels:

And here's murray8144's 34" Goodyear MT/R's on stock wheels:



Hope you both didn't mind me using your guy's pics. I really like what both of you have set up and I am so undecided on which one to get. I think the 35" BFG's would give me just a little more clearance and rock crawling capability but the 34"s look like they'd still do really good on rocks (maybe not so much in mud) but would have a little better road manners. I don't know!
