2007 jeep JK Rubicon 2 door. All stock Bought the jeep in 11 w/ 32k on the odometer. Body/interior looked fantastic. 2007 so there wAs some rust. My very first add on was a set of seat covers a member gave to me for free. Next was the Sorintbooster. Driving a Tj for 10 years the throttle lag was hard to deal with.

Couple poser flex pics from this weekend.
I may play with BS a bit. Looks like - .5 will leave 1/2 stroke left on the shock.

So in order to maximize almost all my shock im cutting .5 bumpstop spacers .
2.5" total will leave less then .5 stroke on the shock at full bump.

Kjeeper. Can you give me a run down of the yeti steering. Not sure how that thing works or what the purpose is.

The Yeti drag link can be installed without drilling (reverse taper mount)
That and both the tie rod and drag link have a built in anti flop feature. I believe MC, TF have similar features now.
The 30mm joints are massive. They look like stock joints on steroids, of coarse grease-able. Both adjusters are 1.625x.25 Chromo. Very strong and i like the fact adjusting is easy with the clamps. Other things like e-coating for rust prevention, clearances are great (hence less bump stop)
SteerSmarts is owned by Power&sons inc. they make steering parts for the big 3 including the new JL.
