Notices
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?

Upgraded from a 2 inch level to a 2.5 inch lift and now have 35s. (Level is for sale)

I'd be interested in hearing performance and ride differences. I put a 2" level on mine day after I bought. Want to switch to 2.5 lift soon. I only have 33" and don't need it.. but want a little extra height.
Looks good. Did you measure height before and after. ?

I like the jump up even though it wasn't much. I have a smittybilt front bumper with a winch which was way to heavy for the stock coils I went with a rock crawler lift coils are a lot stiffer and it's great very impressed but I didn't take measurements before but I ended up with about 6.5 inches between the tires and fenders and jeep is about 6'4 now only been driving on it for a few days though. You will need to realign again my steering wheel was off a lot.

Hope this can help.

Picture 1 (top picture with jeep facing right) is with 33" tires (Toyo Open Country AT2 285/75R17) with Daystar 0.75" coil spacers all around and I got exactly 0.75" all around compared to stock height...

Picture 2 (bottom picture with jeep facing right) is with the same 33" tires and Daystar 1.75" coil spacers all around and I got exactly 1.75" all around compared to stock height...

Picture 3 (jeep facing left) is what I have now with the same 33" tires and Teraflex 2.5" coil (springs) lift and I got 3" front and 2" rear compared to stock height...

Picture 4 and 5 (jeep facing left) is the space you will get (I could measure later if you want...) between tires and fenders. I was scared it would look stupid with 33" tires but I find it actually look good. The only extra weight I have in those pictures is the Teraflex HD tire carrier for the spare tire. I also updated to the Teraflex Monster front adjustable trackbar and Bilstein 5100 shocks. The AEV geometry brackets will go on next month.

Thanks to my friend Nick for the great help

Had a spare 3 hours so decided to paint the plastics. Turned out way better than I imagined. Next thing to paint is the grill... then the hood... then around the window. Might as well be a professional painter after all this!
