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.

Default Installed my new TF 2.5 Spring lift!

Got my new lift on..its great..had some trouble with the rear trackbar bracket though. the template is not correct, causing the hole to be drilled wrong..but i worked around that. unfortunatly my ESP BAS lights came on..assuming that is becuz my stearing wheel aint adjusted right yet..or could it be cuz i had to pull the front driver side caliper off so i could get extra droop to get the spring in? What do you guys think?

i was surprised my Teraflex shocks didnt come with boots (they had them in all pictures i saw)...im kinda torn if i need to put some on?

it was a great time to drink alot of beer...a perfect Indiana saturday night!

shock boots are 1980's monster truck stuff. Pointless dirt holders if you ask me... Steering wheel not being recentered will cause the ABS/ESP/BAS to go ape sh*t. Lets see some photos of your taller jeep!
