    So I just let go of my 2008 JKU and purchased a 2013 JKU. The 2013 has some nice accents/interior trim that my 08 didn't have.

    The 2013 is on 35 X 12.5 R17 toyo mt tires and tuff brand wheels, with stock fenders. LOL. Not sure of the height of the lift but it is on Teraflex brand shocks. The control arms, trac bar, and all the undercarriage seem stock. Not sure how that is when I still have a good amount of spare room between my tires and fenders. Looks to be about a 3 inch lift, but as I said, all looks stock except shocks and springs. Is this common? The axles are centered. Not sure how they did this....

    As you can see, the driveshaft looks stock, the axle isnt sleeved or gusseted, control arms look fixed, trac bar looks stock, tie rod looks stock, gibson exhaust, and it appears it hasnt had that so called spacer they say is necessary on te 2012 up lifts. Teraflex shocks and some sort of aftermarket springs somehow have gotten some 35 inch tires on it, and axles look centered.

    Yeah....Based on your pics. And I am no expert by any stretch. But your tie rod and drag link look stock. Is your track bar adjustable? Cant tell from your pics. That would explain why your axles are centered. They corrected that issue. Caster. My first guess. They just replaced stock springs and shocks with aftermarket with a 2 1/2 to 3 inch lift. Again....I'm not expert.
