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 Rock Krawler JK 2.5 Max Travel Pro Mid Arm System -Lets see some pictures and reports

When I get back to the States, I want to lift my Rubicon. I have been leaning toward OME, but what do you guys think about this aluminum lift? Anytime you can save weight it is typically a good thing. Any pictures/reviews? Thanks in advance.



This is the lift I am talking about: http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...K-RKJK25MT-PRO

Gossamer - That looks awesome! Are those the factory 255's? How does she handle? Any additional upgrades you did/feel are required?

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to take these pictures. It looks great. I wonder how she will do with a load of gear/people.

Those are factory Mountain/Rubicon wheels/tires. Handles just the same as stock in my opinion. I am currently using Shock Spacers on my stock Sahara Shocks. I swapped out the RK Sway Disco's with some JKS ones as well.

I am currently toying with the idea of swapping the springs to the 3.5" ones since the shocks are different lengths between the 2.5" and 3.5" kit and I only want to buy the RK RRD 2.0 shocks once.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Rick.

My Pleasure. I just had the rig fully loaded in the back with gear and 4 passengers and it still handled awesome and had minimal sag.
