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.

What setup are you running? What would you consider the best all around setup for on and off road use?

This post should generate a diverse range of opinions! I have a 2015 Rubicon with an AEV 2" spacer lift and 285/70R17 Duratracs on stock wheels. For me it strikes the perfect balance for off roading, daily driver, and cost. With a winch on the front it'll take me wherever I want to go.

I'll play!

2007 x with 3.5" coils, synergy steering (drag link, tie rod, ball joints), teraflex track bar front and rear, rancho shocks, custom control arms all around, rubicon express 4" rear links, teraflex discos up front for 4" lift, teraflex rear axle bracket. In the market for a new front tb, the TF one has some contact issues on the pitman arm when flexed. Going with a metal cloak in the very near future.

No stock parts left at all. Jeep is not my dd but will do 90 on the highway no problem. I built it to be capable but also drive able. Has 35s now but will be the last set.

It has a few steps to go, the five year plan is axles, 37-38 inch tire and a hemi.

That's some pretty nice setups ya got there. And yea this is a OPINION based post bc we all know the best setup in YOUR opinion is the one that's on ya own rig lol. I'm just curious to see what everyone is running and yalls take on what's "best." I'm currently running the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift with 1/2" spacers added on top up front to accommodate the winch. Rubicon express shocks (bc the fox shocks I wanted were on back order) and I'm running 35x12.50 BFG km2's. I wanted a 35" tire on the smaller side so it would be bearable to drive until I get the funds up to regear.

3.5 metalcloak lift. Artec truss and gussets, I run 36x13.50 bias iroks offroad, and finishing off the stock tires on the road then will upgrade to 315s for the street.
Rides and drives better than factory, off-road this thing is a beast.

Very nice and clean. I like that set up a lot. Just curious....what your overall height front the ground to top?

Teraflex 2.5in. Lift + 1/2in. spacers in the rear. Running Bilstein 5100 shocks, Synergy HD Draglink and adjustable front trackbar, Teraflex extended length rear brake lines, and Teraflex extended length rear swag bar links.
315/70r17 Good Year MTR K.

All in all I like the set up. It does really well on and off road. Super happy with all of the hard parts. Wish it sat a little taller. Will be looking into Rock Krawler or Metal Cloak 2.5 in springs when the budget allows.
