Product Description

The JKS JSPEC160PES is the FOX 2.5 Performance Elite variant of the 3.5" J-Kontrol suspension lift system for 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4-Door models equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 or 6.4L Rubicon 392 V8. Every component mirrors the JSPEC160KFA, with one defining upgrade: the FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series shocks. These 2.5"-diameter remote reservoir monotube shocks feature hard-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum bodies, 7/8" extreme-duty chrome shafts, and FOX's DSC dual-speed compression adjuster - providing independent high-speed and low-speed compression tuning to precisely dial in performance across any terrain. The external reservoir eliminates fade during sustained hard use.

The Diesel/392-specific foundation is fully intact: JSPEC1352 HD-rate front coil springs properly support the heavier diesel and V8 front-end weight, paired with standard-rate JSPEC1359 rear springs. Front Control Arm Correction Brackets (fully boxed 7GA steel, JKS6201) lower the frame-side control arm mounting point to flatten operating angles and correct caster at 3.5" of lift without replacing factory arms. Note: Rubicon 392 models may achieve up to 1.5" less lift than rated depending on factory spring configuration - confirm fitment before ordering. Does not fit 4xe models.
