Back in Dec I had a RE 2.0 coil spacer lift with the longer RE monotube shocks installed on my JK to accommodate my 285/75-16 BFG M/T KM2's. My front and rear bumpers sit 24" off the ground, the rock rails 20" and the diff clears by just over 13". A couple of weeks ago I broke a stock sway bar link so I installed the much beefier JKS quicker disconnects.

I still haven't been out on the trail to test the flex with the new disconnects removed. Today I found a dirt pile near the house and decided to give it a go. The set up is not earth shattering, and my JK will hardly ever be called a monster Jeep, but this setup works fine. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome and it serves my purpose for the 2.0~3.0 trails I run. If I can ever come up with the $$$ and convince my co-pilot Beth, that "we" need to re-gear, then I'll toss on some 35x12 tires for another 1" of lift.....

that's a beautiful color, best i've seen

it always perturbed me that the rear flares were lower than the front making it look like the front was sitting higher than the back

that thing looks good though!

Your JK looks great... I agree on the color too. Lots of articulation, all it needs is to get dirty! :twisted:

They are ProComp 1069's. Look very similar to the Micky T's though.
