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.

yes - more now than ever before. not that long arms are a bad thing mind you, certainly, if you have the money, the know how and the willingness to hack/grind/drill/weld new componets on, by all means, you should. however, it simply isn't necessary the way it was on a TJ especially once you got to 4" or taller. as this experiment has proven to me, with a set of good adjustable short arms and the Off Road Evolution EVO coilover/cantilever system, you can obtain an outstanding ride on pavement and just as much felx if not more so than most long arm kits right out of the box. Certainly, in the case of some long arm kits like the kind RE makes, you will get WAY more felx

LOL!! glad that you were able to find what you were looking for. however, depending on what coilovers you get, it could be a bit more. i bought a basic set of kings and they were pricey and i know that some of ORE's clients are getting tripple bypass kings and they cost a small fortune

Wow!! Hey that looks great! Looks like I need to call Mel and ask him some questions. Oh and that's some sick flex for a short arm!

None of that changes, you retain all the ESP wires as the stock vehicle sits now.
