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.

What was done to your JK this week?

I just did this tie rod and the track bar on mine, huge improvement! I've already tested it out and it holds up! Set the whole jeep on it a couple times and no problems. No more bump steer either

.

Yeah my buddy had his synergy tie rod bend up about 4", make contact with his dual SS bracket (black paint rubbed off onto tie rod) and go back down to level. He was amazed and so was I. And that's why I'm ordering that next. Synergy all the way.

Looks like it. How does it ride without the rear sway bar? These are on my short list.

How did you raise the shock brackets and how long did it take? Probably a dumb question but I'm still learning

Nope, he re-used the stock brackets after cutting them off.

Cut the old ones off, clean them up, weld them back on a little bit higher. The time to do the job will depend on the tools you've got available and how neat you are with your work. It could take as little as an hour or so but certainly more if you've got a small cut-off wheel instead of a plasma cutter.

Nope. Just cut the stock brackets off and welded them on 2" further up. Using just a cut off wheel and my MIG, it took about an hour per side. Its a real pain cutting off the stock brackets.

I don't notice any difference at all without the sway bar. Its so soft that you can keep it or lose it and it will still perform about the same.

Got this to hopefully help with bump steer on rough roads at high speeds.

Yes there is a difference in smoothness, but time will tell how effective it is at high speeds.
