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.

Any 2 door JKs on 40s ?

Need to see them and what lift running on them ?

I ordered 40x13.5x17 tires

Currently, i am running 35s on 2.5" Teraflex coil lift and 1.25" body lift and bushwacker pocket style fenders

Need information on lift only

Wow. Okay, well they're definitely around. I'm sure they'll hop in. Thedirtman has one but I wouldn't consider it something you would try to replicate. I think it only has 3" of lift?

There are plenty two doors on 40's, but to do it right, most are on a custom stretch suspension with one tons. There is way more to it than just fitting them. Your axles, steering, etc all come into play as well.

IF you are on factory axles you should cancel the order and max out at 37" Lift is not the issue when running 40" tires it is the clearance for turning the wheel unless you are 6"+ of lift which has its other drawbacks. Buying 40's and then making them fit is a poor idea. It should be planned out and done correctly to avoid headaches and breakages.

Thanks

This is with 3" springs, 3.25" extended bumpstops, mostly rear fender well trimming and a 1" body lift:






Trimming here:





This is with 4.5" springs, 3.25" extended bumpstops, Currie RJ 60s, significant fender well trimming, and no body lift:









And, Dirtman is absolutely correct:
