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.

You can probably get by without much more bumpstop. I'd think an 1-1.5" you already have a steering stabilizer. You should be good to go.

I'd agree with the above. Although a new Steering Stabilizer isn't necessary, if you plan on off-roading then I would suggest getting a bracket that relocates it. They are cheap provide insurance and here are plenty of stories about these things getting bent or broken.

Good Luck!

Won't hurt to contact rock krawler directly. I've called them before with questions and they had awesome customer service. Their phone # is on their website. Good luck

Thanks for posting, I've had my lift sitting in the family room for almost a year worrying about if I was going to get to much lift.

Anyone have any pics of a JKU with 3.5" X factor on 33s? I won't have my 35s right away and wanted to see how goofy it'll look.

It may sound really stupid or dumb, but is there a certain way that the piston ( long silver rod) of the shock have to face? I see some connected @ the bottom some at the top(mines at the top) & I was wondering if that changed the way your vehicle would ride. My ride is very stiff & rigid right now.

Also asking because I'm wanting to upgrade my shocks anyway to something that's a little bit better but isn't expensive.

I assume you are asking if the shock body should be mounted on top or bottom. Most of use run the shock body up to keep it away from rocks and other obstacles but you can mount them either direction.
