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.

I love those rims. The rocks here would chew them up, so I am staying with steel.

Reference the speedo calibration; you do know that the calibration is only good for tires up to 32"? Just in case you paid for something that you didn't need to.

Sweet looking rig.

Thanks guys. Now to move on to Phase 2 bumpers....

Total lift I got from the lift and tires is about 3-4 inches its really noticeable when you get in..

Grant 211- I was about to go with the teraflex BB with shocks but after speaking with the guys over at fortec they explained to me the issues that could come up when offroading with the BB and I dint feel comfortable Also I felt like the skyjacker was more of a true suspension lift and it was still within my budget range
As for the ride it is a bit stiffer than stock but not too bad.

Damn it! I mis-read. I thought it was a spacer kit, not a coil kit. That should settle a little.

Did you get the upgrade kit for the skyjacker? How do you like the skyjacker overall? Does it ride nicely? I was looking at the Skyjacker kit a little, but OME seems to be a crowd favorite around here, so...

It wasn’t a jeep dealer it’s a customization shop http://www.fortecjeep.com
As for the warranty the manager over at fortec told me if I have any issues with the suspension I’ll need to go to them first so they can check it out before I take it to the dealer. That way there is no finger pointing as to who’s problem it is. Plus they also have contacts at most jeep dealers around here since they do most of the lifts for dealers around here.
