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.

Mine is the teraflex 2" lift, 18/59 springs, airlift bags, Monroe reflex monotube shocks, teraflex lower sport control arms, teraflex tierod and drag link, and teraflex steering stabilizer. AWESOME setup for my needs, rides, handles and wheels great.

I've got a frankenlift that is the equivalent of a RK stock mod but with metalcloak and ruff stuff specialties steering/ geometry. It looks like everyone else's lift, it just took longer to put together. Picture shows the rear squatting with camping gear.

How do the airlift bags function offroad, any limitation of flex?

actually they work great, They only limit enough that the rear tire does not hit my fender...so its more like a bumpstop than any limiting factor. I'm sure they will limit travel more when aired up good but with weight on them they will even out....Either way they are awesome to have if towing trailers, or loading up lots of heavy gear inside. The entire setup works AMAZINGLY well as a package. Its a great overlanding style setup that exceeds lots of other kits I have driven in. both handling, ride comfort and weight carrying capacity is all increase a lot from stock.

I originally put together my setup for overland type wheeling too, but i ended up getting a lot more travel than expected lol but im considering building an overland trailer out of an old 4x6 utility trailer i have and i was considering airbags to keep the ride smooth and level. How much did they cost you and how difficult were they to install?

TF 1.5 leveling kit and Rancho 7000's. I did some research and found the shocks to be almost identical to Bilsteins but a tad bit softer. Rides great and can go on any trail I want to get to a great fishing spot.
