Jeep® Performance Parts Announces New Upgraded 2-inch Lift Kit Featuring Bilstein Shocks

https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=25045&mid=1
  • Legendary Jeep® 4x4 capability reaches new levels in Wrangler (JL) and Gladiator (JT) models
  • New Bilstein monotube shocks with remote reservoirs deliver increased performance with larger wheels and tires
July 19, 2023 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Jeep® is taking its legendary 4x4 capability to a higher level for current Wrangler (JL) and Gladiator (JT) vehicles with an upgraded Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) 2-inch lift kit from Mopar that includes specially tuned Bilstein 46-millimeter monotube shocks with remote reservoirs.

The new Bilstein shocks complement increased ground clearance and larger wheels and tires by offering consistent, fade-free performance in all conditions. In addition, a self-adjusting, deflective-disc valve reacts instantly to surface changes, giving the driver maximum control.

Remote reservoirs increase oil capacity for greater heat dissipation, while a unique swivel banjo fitting allows for a 360-degree rotation of the flex hose for direct fitment while protecting the reservoir oil line from contact. The new bolt-on JPP lift kit is easily installed in stock mounting locations with no extra drilling needed.

“Our Jeep Performance Parts team at Mopar is always looking for innovative ways to improve performance for off-road enthusiasts,” said Mike Koval, head of Mopar North America. “With more than 500 quality-tested, factory-backed performance parts and accessories across the Jeep lineup, our customers win with new options to upgrade and personalize their vehicles.”

Included in the new JPP lift kit are four springs, four Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs, front lower control arms, front and rear stabilizer links, front and rear bump stops, assorted fasteners and the JPP badge. The kit is specially packed in a custom, reusable wooden crate branded with the JPP logo.

“We can’t wait for our Jeep off-road community to experience the new Jeep Performance Parts lift kit with Bilstein shocks on Wrangler and Gladiator this summer,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “There is nothing quite like legendary Jeep 4x4 capability for enthusiasts who want to tackle the toughest terrains.”

The new JPP 2-inch lift kit is available for 2018 model-year and newer Jeep Wranglers (JL) and 2020 model-year and newer Jeep Gladiators (JT). U.S. manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $2,095.

Following are Mopar part numbers for each Jeep vehicle model. See the Mopar e-Store for more information or to purchase.

Seems like a downgrade and JKS took the rights and can now sell the Fox 2.5s on their site. Only one who can sell them at the momment I believe

Its not even a good lift. My 3.5" Clayton's Overland drives like a Cadillac compared to a Mopar 2" kit and was $100s more. I have both in my possession right now and it is that noticeable.

Bilstein is a great company and reservoir shocks look cool but are they an upgrade to the 2.5” Fox shocks from the old version of the kit?

Had the previous version in since before mine left the dealership in 2019. No complaints with how it rides on or off-road. It would be interesting to drive a JL with the new kit for comparison.

The reservoir shocks will allow for more travel (compression stroke) because of the nitrogen and other internals being moved to the reservoirs... I would think that the oil capacity might be higher in a 2.0 resi too, but someone would have to calc that out.
