Fox shock and spring recommendation

[GATORB8]

This is what John said: and i do like it, my other question is, do i really need to replace the control arms or can i just get the Stage 3 kit and call it the day?


Thanks for your email and details! I will start off, that every Jeep will sit differently after a lift, so anytime Garage Clearance is mentioned, I make customers aware of that.

We appreciate you considering our lift, and we think it would be great for your uses since it is meant to be a 3" lift for your engine and modifications. If you need some rear rake, you can add polyurethane spacers afterwards to tune in the height to your needs.

Stage 3 is the base kit, if you have a fresh Jeep. Stage 4 is the Complete kit, and Stage 5 is the bonus kit which includes Yeti Steersmarts Steering if your steering parts are ready to be replaced with something stronger.

Your uses with it being unloaded, and then having variable weights and uses easily justifies having adjusters, but obviously it's a big price jump from 2.0s to 2.5s. No matter what, shocks are a wearable part, and will eventually leak, but when our shocks leak, you rebuild them instead of paying all of that money again.

We will custom tune whichever shock package you choose, to the unique weight and uses of your vehicle within our Adventure Tuning perspective.

The stock CAs have bonded bushings, I'm not really sure what the Accu-Joint is and if it rotates or not.

Sounds like John's recommendation is to go to Stage 4 if your stock bushings are worn out. If you stick with stock, make sure you loosen then torque them at rideheight so they aren't already at bind.

Hi All, im just curious, if i wanted to keep everything on the jeep the same, same height, same control arms but just get replacement shocks and springs, who would i go to?

Are there packages out there for that or will i need to piece it together all separate?

We can still help you out with a stock height shock package, you just would not benefit from additional up travel, but sounds like you have height limitations. Unfortunately Fox doesn't have a 0-1.5" lift remote reservoir shock for JL, so you would also be missing out on our tuning :/

OP, I feel like any additional uptravel is going to help you out. You can spend all you want on shocks, but if they only have a few inches to act over, it's going to limit what they can do.

2.5s are pretty overkill for stock height and medium use.
