Glad to hear that you liked it. We have already proofed all the OR-Fab for the 2013 JK's, so if there is anything you're looking to get contact your local 4 wheel drive shop.

Well, I have been informed that we are not providing the hardware in the kit any longer. However, Hi-lift jacks can be installed on the tire-carriers with the use of two bolts (3/8” x 1 1/2”) or two studs (3/8" x 1 1/2") with two wing nuts.

You will be all good to install that on your new JK. The only difference could be a door jam that needs to be removed on some of the 2011 and up JKs. I have added a photo so you can see what is removed.

OR-Fab all the WAY!!! Can't beat the quality and the fact that you don't even notice it's back there, damn thing is so quiet with my 35 on it. I'm moving up to 37s and I'm confident that it will still be the same quiet ride I'm currently enjoying. But on the other hand, the other two design pics I post is the rear tire carrier and bumper combo I really wanted. This is a design by Benchmark Designs that never made it to market. Damn shame!!!!
