JKS J-Konnect 3.5" Lift Kit w/ J-Spec Shocks | 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door

Is This for You?

You want the J-Konnect long-arm geometry on your JK 2-Door at the lowest possible entry cost — or you're planning to run a specific aftermarket shock and want the platform without paying for a duplicate damper. The JSPEC114K delivers the complete J-Konnect 3.5" long-arm system with JKS J-Spec monotube shocks. It's the base-shock configuration of the J-Konnect 3.5" JK 2-Door lineup — proven geometry correction, functional damping, and a clear upgrade path when you're ready to step up.

The Result

3.5" of lift with JKS long-arm caster and pinion correction. J-Spec monotube shocks provide a functional, predictable damping baseline that outperforms factory units. Adjustable upper and lower control arms allow precise alignment post-install. Axle wrap is eliminated and the JK 2-Door's shorter wheelbase benefits from the improved geometry at this lift height. The platform is shock-upgrade-ready when you're ready to step up to Fox or King.

Installation & Fabrication Notes

Long-arm geometry requires a front differential drop or relocation bracket (included or specified in kit). Professional 4-wheel alignment required post-installation. Torque all control arm hardware to JKS specification after a 500-mile break-in. No cutting or welding required for standard JK 2-Door applications. Shock upgrade path (Fox 2.0, Fox 2.5 Elite, Fox Remote Reservoir) is compatible with this control arm platform — confirm eye-to-eye length with OFAS before purchasing replacement shocks.

Wheel & Tire Fitment

Engineered for 35"–37" tires. Recommended backspacing: 4.5"–4.75" on a 17"×9" or 18"×9" wheel. The JK 2-Door's shorter wheelbase makes fender clearance more sensitive to tire width — confirm tread width and brand before finalizing wheel selection.

Engineering Question

Starting with J-Spec shocks on the J-Konnect 3.5" long-arm JK 2-Door platform and targeting a Fox 2.5 Elite DSC upgrade after your first season — does the JK 2-Door's shorter wheelbase create any unique shock eye-to-eye length requirements compared to the JK 4-Door at the same lift height? Yes — the JK 2-Door uses different shock mounting geometry than the 4-Door, and the correct eye-to-eye length for the upgrade shock must be verified against the 2-Door's specific control arm travel arc at 3.5" of lift. Contact OFAS with your target shock model before you buy and we'll confirm the exact fitment spec for your JK 2-Door build.
