Product Description

King Shocks 25001-223A OEM Performance Upgrade Kit delivers race-proven technology in a bolt-on suspension system engineered specifically for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models with 3-5 inch lift kits. Each kit is hand-built in the USA using premium materials and precise tolerances found in King's high-end race shocks. The 2.5-inch diameter precision-bored steel shock bodies paired with external piggyback reservoirs dramatically increase fluid capacity and heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during aggressive off-road driving. Heat-treated aluminum pistons with high-flow bypass valves, large hard-chromed stainless steel shafts rated at 100,000 PSI tensile strength, and high-strength rod ends ensure exceptional durability and the legendary King ride quality. The wide-range compression adjusters provide 20 clicks of precise damping adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune performance for specific terrain--from rock crawling to high-speed desert running.

Each shock has been subjected to extensive dynamometer lab testing and punishing real-world off-road validation to develop optimal damping curves specifically for lifted JK Wranglers. The adjustable design allows custom valve tuning with simple hand tools without removing the shocks from the vehicle. These shocks provide up to 25% more effective wheel travel compared to stock, dramatically improving off-road capability and ride quality. Installation is straightforward with 100% bolt-on fitment using included vehicle-specific hardware--no cutting or welding required, though aftermarket upper control arms may be needed on some lifted applications. King's fully serviceable and rebuildable design means these shocks can be completely rebuilt after years of extreme use. Note: Does NOT fit 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL models (new body style).
