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.

Default Articulation Test

Hit up Charleau gap yesterday oustide of Tucson to check articulation of my teraflex 3'' system. The first couple miles of the trail up till the kiss have some nice whoops. Overall I'm very happy with the articulation, especially for a short arm. For the ease at which the install was it's amazing how capable the jk has become. In case anyone wants to know its a 3'' coil set with front lower and rear upper tf arms, jks front track bar and procomp mx6 shocks that were listed for a 4'' procomp lift. Tires are 35x12.5 km2's on 17x9 cragar wheels with 4.5'' bs.

At the trailhead, it's been beautiful down here the last couple days.







Here's two of the rear at full stuff. I thought for sure there would be contact with the slider. It's actually closer to the rear of the fender.



It looks like its hitting but it's not...just ever so slightly not haha



Here's the front, heavy contact with he front bumper...





A nice Whoop section

















Does anybody else have issues with rubbing on the front bumper? I guess its time to stubbify it with a sawzall...Oh yea and I didn't take pics but the extended brake lines and abs lines were both fine. to Teraflex, great product.

It looks great. From your description, I've basically got the same set up, but with all Teraflex components.

Now I just need to find some time and trails like that.

Nice, get out there it's gonna perform great!

Yea I've been cruisin the write ups section for the stubby mod. The driveshafts looked fine, I've got the 6-speed so I wasn't concerned that much. I'm gonna run the stock shafts tell the boot rips and then have a local shop build some new ones. Hopefully that won't be for awhile but I guess we'll see.
