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.

Are you part of the 34" club? (show Pics)

I just got my lift and tires today! It's a 1.75 BB from Daystar and 285/75/17 Toyo Open Country ATs on stock wheels. No Wheel spacers! I decided to go with 34" tires because they are only 11.5" wide and fit stock wheels. The spare tire fits tight to the bumper.

I can hardly wait until I get my JK decals

Thats weird. I'm looking at them right now. I'll try clearing my cache and cookies and try again.

Does anyone have experience with 2.5" Skyjacker lift with 305 tires on stock rubicon wheels? I am running them and it all looks great, but the tires seem to hit the brake like bracket or something. I have heard that spacers are required when running 305's (34") on stock wheels. Is this right? Thanks

My 34" tires are 11.5" wide which is only a half inch larger on each side than the stock tires. I don't think you could run 12.5" wide tires without new wheels or spacers. I don't see the hight of the lift making a difference until you start flexing.

Here is the only other pic I have at the moment:


Here is a before pic for comparison:


I have noticed a very slight rub on the front sway bar during a hard turn. I plan on adjusting the turn stops to resolve it.

Any other 34" JKs out there? This is a lonely group. :whoaisme:

thanks for the info. I will get some pictures and post of mine. I must say that you are right about being alonely group. However, i believe that the 34 is the perfect tire. Big enough to be big but not so much that you lose the road worthiness like you do with some 35's.

I agree, I think 34 is the sweet spot on tires, with probably a 2" BB. I am thinking about this setup for a Christmas present to myself. Anymore pictures from anyone with 34's?
