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 am keeping the fill in case I need it in the future or sell it with the extra fuel cell I have.
Ok thank you sir. I will get my resistance dialed in for a perfect full tank then clear enging codes and reset battery and see how it goes.

Well finally flattened out the front arms. Also seen as my frame is dropped 2" i can shave them off and flat skid the whole bottom. Also think i am going to drop the overall ride height at least 1 inch and possibly 2". Should get me around 4" lift and still have around 20" belly height.

Did you just want to flatten the links to improve the ride or were you looking for additional separation to reduce the pinion angle change when drooped?

Yes i really didnt want to but got more separation and once i drop the ride height they'll be damn near flat. Also its not as big of a deal for clearance as my frames already lowered 2" so i can trim a tad and flat skill from my rear frame links to the center of the front frame links. I also got slightly longer arms and can make a new upper thats not bent.

Well ordered up some new coilover sliders and also sent in some of my old coil rate to be swapped out. Looks like i may end up at 150 over 225 rear and 225 over 250 front.

Nothing. Send back one get a new one. As long as they're not worn to crap and look ok.
