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.

As the title implies...Looking to see these kits on a JKU. Any Feedback on On/Off Road manners etc... At a cross road between BDS, Rock Krawler, and Clayton. Need help deciding.

I have a 2" BDS lift kit with coil springs. Overall rides great on the street, and on the trail as well. I have driven my friends JKU on stock suspension and it just wasn't the same.

What do you mean by that..." wasn't the same". The BDS is better or worse then Stock. I'll looking at 3.5" - 4.5" lifts in order to run 37's on my 2011 JKU.

Not a unlimited but it is a 4" long arm and works as good as any other lift out there. Plus the price is right.

Wasn't the same as in.. my JKU with the BDS Lift kit felt SO much better than the stock ride. I took a turn with my friends stock JKU and the stock suspension felt so "soft." I know this lift is expensive and I don't know a lot about the others but if I could do it again I would go BDS every time, I am more than happy with it.
