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.

I will be trimming the top of the 3rd link and notching the cross member to get as much as possible.

Thats the main drawback of running a 3 link, loss of up travel. Use lots of gussets on that bridge and mount.

The link will be bolted and welded to the BTF Diff cover with gussets on the sides of the link mount attaching to the truss.

I know a guy out here who ran the btf on his 14b wasnt long before it was replaced with a wfo system....if im not mistaken he was single triangulated though not 3 link.

Rolled the front tire out about 4" I think this is the wheel base I'm looking for.
