2012 Rock Krawler Max Travel System
Installing Max travel system on 2012 JKU with Bilstein 5160 front shocks and 5100 rear. RK front spring retainers and rear track bar, teraflex front and rear lower bumpstops and 1/2" rear spacer.
Side by side comparison with my previous Canyon(7" Lift on 33's)
Lift has arrived
Close up of the Joint
The spread out of the complete install
Front End pic at full droop sway bar disconnected
Close up of front end w/o brake lines
Finished front end in just under 3 hours with two people, more pics to come when I tackle the back. Hope yall enjoy!

Your Jeep looks good. Is your RK Max Travel kit the 2.5" version? I'm asking because I don't see the draglink flip steering geometry correction parts that are in the 3.5" version.

"finished product!"
Finished it up last night with a total of 3 hours Thursday night and 4 1/2 hours Friday night.
So in about 7+ hours, with the help of a friend and half a big bottle of American Honey we were able to get this done with your common everyday hand tools. Rides great and I can't wait to hit the trails and test it! Let me know what yall think.
Oh, and yes I know my tires are definitely to small now. HAHAH!!

"test run!"
Didn't go through any serious trails do to how slick it was this past weekend. However the trails we did hit ,that I used to have to strategize and pick my approach went out the window. This lift did everything I wanted and has great highway manners to boot!
As I said we weren't able to hit any serious rocks or washout so this rock would have to do...
Let me know what yall think..
And yes my tires are stupid small!!

Looks awesome man! Good job on the driveway install. I dont have much more than the basic hand tools myself but there is somehting incredibly satisfying about doing it yourself. Sounds like you already know what ur next mod should be
