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.

Will do. Though after some reading and info from the Rancho rep I have heard it is closer to 4" at first then settles to 3" after a while. I will measure though.

This is true. I checked and I have 17/59 springs on my Rubi and I had 18/58 on my sport.

Just did a Front and Rear rubi axle swap. It was a lot of work. Last thing I need is a transfer case.

It would have been much easier to trade it in a while back. But I learned a lot in the process and beat the shit out of my hands and learned many new sentence enhancers in the process. Lol

I was on the fence about going that route. When I realized I could just trade and have my payment only go up $30, it made up my mind for me!

This is why I stay away from the jeep dealership... Because my payment would go up much more than 30 bucks!

enjoy! Nice choice of color too
