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 Before and After with 2.5" and 35's


Before the lift and tires sitting stock.



After a new Skyjacker 2.5" suspension lift and 35" tires. Still sits a little low in the front until tomorrow when I get a 3/4" bump up with a sping spacer.

Looks good. What are ya doing for the rock rails? I noticed you removed the stock ones?

Have you flexed it yet to see if it rubs? I just put spacers with my stock wheels and it looks much better but can't decide if I want to lift it a little and go with 33s or 35s.

Your pictures help me decide

I am selling the rocks rails and wont be putting new ones one. We wont be doing extreme 4 wheeling as this is my wifes daily driver. I am installing the 3/4" spring spacer tomorrow morning to see if that helps level the front end out. I have not flexed it yet to see if it rubs, though I suspect it might a little...We just got back from our first cruise with the top down, 70 degress in Seattle on April 5th, go figure.... Heres a pic...

I see you have a diesel pusher Motorhome as well. Looks cool. I like the look of your setup.

What is it you did not like about the rock rails? Even though I may not ever climb rocks, I like the way it hides the pinch wealds under the rig.

Are you planning to tow your jeep behind your motorcoach?

I think your jeep looks great and I love the wheels.

Edit: Sorry but on closer inspection I can see your side steps you installed. Hard to see on my computer. Now I know why you took off the rock rails.

Thanks for the compliments. I took the rock rails off because I liked the tube side steps and with the lift we needed something to climb up on. I too do not like the pinch welds and will hopefully find some way to hide them down the road. I won't be climbing any rocks anyhow, as this is my wife's daily driver for the most part.
I have the Jeep already set up for towing behind our Diesel pusher and it tows great. However....I have not towed it after lifting it up and am concerned about the tow angle for the tow bar. It flexes and pivots up and down, so it should be ok...
Here is a picture of the Jeep with the additional 3/4" spacer installed which leveled it out a lot better now...
