    JKS JSPEC 2" Lift

    I have a 2 year old JKS JSPEC 2" lift available. This fits any JK and will give you closer to 3" on a stock Jeep. Bumpers and armor will bring it down closer to the advertised 2". Kit includes front and rear coil springs and front sway bar links. Your current stock front links can be moved to...

    "Franken-lift" or complete kit?

    I own a 2009 JKU Rubicon that I have been using as a daily driver, a weekend off-roader, and a tow vehicle for a 20’ travel trailer. Because of all this, I went with a mild lift that includes: 2” JKS JSPEC Springs JKS JSPEC Front LCA’s (fixed length) JKS front and rear adjustable track bars...

    Questions regarding control arms

    I'm still a long way from understanding how the different components of the suspension work and what effects they have on ride quality and trail ability, so maybe you can help me with a couple questions... At what point do you need longer front and rear LCA's? I've read some posts that...

    JKS vs Synergy track bar & sector shaft brackets

    I'll be putting on 35" Nittos soon so I'm in the process of getting everything ready underneath. One of the things that was recommended to me is a track bar and sector shaft bracket. Synergy's bracket is less expensive than JKS, but I'm not sure it's compatible with my JKS adjustable track...

    Advice wanted: Preparing for harder rock crawling

    Up to this point, I've only done moderate trails with my Jeep, the most difficult probably being the trails up around Big Bear Lake, CA and some of the moderate trails in the Sierras around Shaver Lake. In 2014 I will be tackling the Rubicon as part of the Jeep Jamboree and, since this is also...

    Who's running a 2" to 3" lift w/ 37's (Got Pics?)

    As I get closer to upgrading to larger tires, I'm starting to wonder if I might be able to stuff a 37" tire under my JKU with 2" JKS Jspec lift. I've already got the bump stops in, have a stubby front bumper, and plan to run flat fenders. What else would it take to run 37's if I choose to go...

    35's in 15 or 17? Which is preferred?

    I'm looking at a couple of different tires, but in all cases, it seems the 15 inch tires are around $100 per tire cheaper than the 17's. I could probably justify buying some new wheels with the money I save, but instead of considering that, I want to know what wheel size people actually prefer...

    Another Tire Thread - Help a guy decide on his next set of road/trail tires

    Currently, I'm running 33" Falken Wildpeaks and have no complaints other than the fact they look more like street tires than off-road tires. They've not let me down on rocks, rain, ice or snow. But soon I'll be re-gearing and ready to move up to 35's so I can start running more challenging...

    Buck Rock Trail (CenCal) July 28

    I've got a small group of us heading up to Buck Rock on Sunday, July 28th. I found the trail by accident while exploring the Sequoias and been wanting to head back and actually run the trail ever since. I've got a couple new Jeep owners wanting to head up with me and we may pick up a few more...

    Need tips on easiest way to remove/replace front springs

    I have a new set of front springs I want to put on this weekend in my driveway. I have all the wrenches and sockets I'll need plus a floor jack and a couple of jack stands. Will these be enough or will I need anything else? The JSPEC lift I have was put on in a shop that had a lift and...

    Looking for info on Freeway Ridge 4wd Trail 31e73 near Lake Isabella, CA

    A small group of us were exploring the trails near Lake Isabella / Kernville this past weekend. After I got home, I found a trail we missed: Freeway Ridge 4wd trail 31e73. It looks like it was just a little SW of where we were all day. Has anyone run this recently?
