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 Rubicon Express 2" kit w/ Monotube Shocks installed

Here's a cam-phone shot of my 07 Wrangler Unlimited with the newly installed Rubicon Express 2" kit with Monotube shocks. More photos to come tomorrow or this weekend. Wheels are Eagle 137's and tires are Cooper STT 305/70/16

Lift, wheels & tires were installed by my good buddies at Tri-Cities 4wheel & Offroad in Hopewell, VA who just picked up a 4 door RedRock themselves!

The truck sits right level now, but it wasn't as drastic of a rake as some others i've seen on here. The front spacer its about 2.33-2.5" and the rear spacer is about 1.75"

The wheels do not have spacers on them, they are listed as 4.625" backspacing. I wouldnt mind them sticking out just a tiny bit more, but its ok.

The ride is firmer than stock, but not rough at all. I thank the firmness when I go over washboard type stuff with these larger wheels & tires. I don't regret getting the monotubes at all.
