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.

its more of a mid arm to me and depending on the limits of your control arm ends it will be very hard to have the mid arm be the limiting factor on most set ups, it will just suck under your jeep more.

Mid arm is just a fancy term because the jks stock arms are longer than all the other wranglers. Short arm or long arm. Not really such a thing as mid arms in my book

either way on most of the jk set ups, especially with aftermarket arms the arm style "long or short" shouldnt limit you, im sure you could get more flex from the same arm set up if you really wanted.

did you move the lower mount out more?

but either way looks good. throw up some shock specs im sure people will wonder.

yup that's about the max, are the shocks the bump or is there a small amount showing at full bump? I'm assuming you moved the lower mounts or they would be bending a decent amount at full flex unless the shock body is on the axle side.

Looks like your brake line is also doubling as a limit strap haha
