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.

OME and BFG's finally on!

How is the ride? Is it flighty at all? Did you have to correct any steering/linkage or anything? (ie. Adjustable control arms and what not) How much lift did the OME net you? I imagine somewhere around 3" with a 2 door and the heavy duty springs.

Awesome ride, handles just like stock and the OME shocks soak up the bumps a lot better for a softer ride. I honestly held off doing the lift because I loved the way it drove stock. But after the lift I could not be happier.

All I had to do is recenter the steering wheel (piece of cake with the Aeroforce Inteceptor gauge) added Currie front upper control arms to get a good camber angle (5.8), and Full Traction adjustable track bars front and rear to center the axles.

I have not measured the exact height increase but I would guess it is right around 3 with the AEV and Warn on the front. The back is just a tad taller but when the LOD rear bumper gets here is should set very close to level.

I will post some measurements soon. Thanks for all of the comments

Hey nice ride!!! I have been looking at a lift kit for next spring. Iknow your an OME fan. Would you get the lift again or is there a better one to get. I'm looking for some honest input.
