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

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

Is This for You?

You're building a serious trail JK 2-Door and you want the thermal capacity and damping performance of a Fox remote reservoir shock paired with the J-Konnect long-arm geometry. The JSPEC114KFR delivers JKS long-arm control arms with Fox remote reservoir shocks — the remote canister separates the oil and nitrogen charge from the shock body, dramatically improving heat dissipation on sustained technical terrain. If your JK 2-Door sees long, aggressive trail days, this is the shock configuration built for it.

The Result

3.5" of lift with JKS long-arm caster and pinion correction. Fox remote reservoir shocks maintain consistent damping performance across extended trail runs where body-mounted reservoir shocks begin to fade. Adjustable upper and lower control arms allow precise alignment post-install. The JK 2-Door's shorter wheelbase and lighter weight make it an ideal platform for the remote reservoir's performance advantages on technical terrain.

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. Remote reservoir canister routing must be planned during install — confirm clearance against frame, skid plates, and body panels before finalizing mount locations. No cutting or welding required for standard JK 2-Door applications.

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

Routing Fox remote reservoir canisters on a J-Konnect 3.5" long-arm JK 2-Door build — where do the front remote canisters typically mount without conflicting with the differential drop bracket or front skid plate? Canister placement on the JK 2-Door is tighter than on the 4-Door due to the shorter frame rails and different body panel geometry. The optimal mount location depends on your specific skid plate setup and whether you're running a front locker. Contact OFAS before your install and we'll walk you through the canister routing that works for your specific JK 2-Door configuration.
