Killer JK @maxcustody![emoji1362] Quick question: how many inches does the Rhino Rack add to the JK? I want to go with that roof rack system but I'm trying to see if my JK will continue to fit in the garage if I do install it. Very much appreciated!

Did you do anything with the coil springs to beef up the load capacity, my 2011 sits low when loaded. Great build by the way

Thanks. Yes I have changed the suspension out to OME heavy duty coil springs front and rear. Rear coils are 660 lbs I believe..........

I was looking at that rack too. I just traded my Trektop for a hard top and was looking for a rack. I liked that rack but just didn't like the whole idea of drilling into the top for the through bolts to the supports on the inside... Have you had any leaking problems with it, and which part number did you have to get? I am torn between this and the Baja Designs rack.

Absolutely no problems. I had Ok4wd do the install. I wanted to have the install done right, too expensive to make a mistake. Not sure on part numbers

Great looking rig. With all the extra weight, have you had to change out your springs? Really like how you have the back set up. I am just getting into overland and am trying to figure out how to set up my Jeep. Yours is a real nice example of what I would like to do.
