Unhappy Rare Parts' 2007 Jeep JK

Our company manufactures steering and suspension components for any year, make, model vehicle from 1920s through today. We currently manufacture a heavy duty steering system, Correctlync, available through Currie Enterprises.

We have some new designs for heavy duty suspension components, and we want to prove they are tougher than anything else out there. We purchased our 2007 Jeep Wrangler X Unlimited so we can properly trail test the components.

We didn't go too crazy with it (4" lift, 35s) but we wanted a nice functional offroad jeep, that we could still drive on the road to get to the trails.

We have taken it out a few times now, and we shot a video of the first time at Fordyce trail.
For build photos and full list of what went into this go to: PROJECT:JK - Rare Parts 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Test Vehicle | RareParts.com

Great, thank you for watching. We should be hitting the market with the ball joints sometime in August.

We have changed a few things on the Jeep since I posted this.
We got rid of the NITTO 35s, and got some Goodyear Wrangler 37x12.50R17s, which actually handle quite a bit better on-road.
We added Poison Spyder fender flares.

We are going to be busy this week - we are swapping out the front axle for a ROCKJOCK Dana 44 with 5.38 gears, installing BAER brakes, and a WURTON 50" lightbar.

Currie as we speak is custom making my 44 and Brian at Currie said the 44 will have your new ball joints on it!
