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.

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. :droolfactor10:
Those 35's look perfect on black 18's. I love that color.

Default 4" Sky Jacker Install Questions

Hey 58sled,
My 4" lift from Skyjacker showed up last night. The install directions leave a lot to be imagined. Did you find a better set of directions or did you trial & error it?
This will be my first lift but I'm set up with the tools and I'm pretty mechanically inclined.

I figure I'l tackle the rear tonight since it should be a little easier and take on the front tomorrow night. (Sounds like Fun)

I have the 35 x12.50 Mud Grapplers from Nitto ready to install.

By the way my Jk is the same color. My boys were pumped to see what we'll hopefully be looking at in the near future.

Thanks for the picture. Any pointers would be appreciated.

for the rear be sure to put the track bar in the top hole of the track bar relocator (we had it in the lower hole and i think this was causing some ESP issues) not sure if the instructions indcated that.

for the front on the NEW lower control arms the greese fitting just push in we thought they threaded but we just lightly tapped them down with a hammer. also the off set on the lower control arms goes toward the center of the jeep ><. THis was very hard to understand IMO. the tires WILL RUB if you put the lower control arms on with the off set out <>.

be sur to check your shocks they sent our front shocks in the right box but wrong shock inside.

hope this helps

Jacks stands, floor jack and hand tools should do the job

Glad to hear its a family project. ENJOY And PLEASE POST PICS.

$12xx. Tires
$150. shocks

What's the overall height of the vehicle and ground clearance to side steps?

This is exactly what I plan on doing to my Rubi, unless it doesn't fit in the garage.
