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.

The BB was pucks only and I bought rubi springs and shocks to go with it. No tracbar bracket in the old kit.

I'll find out about the driveshafts when I get a chance to get out and flex it fully.

1. Wait til all wheels are on the ground to torque everything, leave all bolts loose until everything is on.
2. Weld the tracbar bracket from the get go, otherwise you have to remove it again.
3. don't force anything, if its not fitting right away, lift the axles up/down and sie to side until it slides in.

Your gonna love this kit!

looked at them this morning. they are just about laying on the lower control arms...

but it looks normal to me. they also work for the 3.5+ lifts... so thats probably why they might be a little long.

looks fine to me

just make sure to bend them away from the tire, they will stay where you put them
