2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Runaround - Suspension

8 Jks, 16 Guys, And No Rest For The Weary

By Jerrod Jones, Photography by , , John Luker

Poly Performance started out as a little mail-order 4x4 supply shop that sold joints, brackets, coilovers, and other solutions to a custom suspension builder's woes. Recently the company decided to take on the bolt-on suspension game and market its own complete kit for the JK Wrangler. It will be interesting to see what cool tricks this fabber supply shop will pull off.
