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.

Anyone running flats w/35s? Need opinions please.

For me personally, I think flats and 35s look a little small with any type of lift. I suppose if you go with no lift, it might fill the space...

Not a criticism of those who like the look, just not my personal preference...

Best of luck...

fair statement. i know i can get way more flex without rubbing on my stock fenders with my flats. why not get the most out of a 2.5" lift by running flats and still keeping LCG.

Well boys, those are all good looking Jeeps (Planman, how many iterations back in the evolution of your JK are those photos from?! ), but I've decided I won't do flat fenders if/until I step up from 35s to 37s.

?

If you were rubbing stock fenders after doing a 2.5" lift kit, you must still be on stock bump stops (read: you didn't install bump stop extensions at the time you did the lift).

Is this correct?

I can't imagine rubbing stock fenders if you had bump stop extensions.

You just sold me on it, you have my exact setup, color, 2dr, lift, and tire size now I need those fenders, haha
