JKS J-Konnect 3.5" Lift Kit w/ Fox 2.5 Elite | 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door

JKS J-Konnect 3.5" Lift Kit w/ Fox 2.5 Elite | 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door

Is This for You?

You're building a JK 2-Door and you want the top-spec Fox shock in the J-Konnect 3.5" long-arm lineup. The JSPEC114PES delivers JKS long-arm geometry with Fox 2.5 Elite DSC reservoir shocks — driver-adjustable compression, superior heat dissipation, and a refined trail feel that the JK platform is fully capable of exploiting. If you're running 35s or 37s on a 2-Door JK and want the best shock in the J-Konnect lineup, this is it.

The Result

3.5" of lift with JKS long-arm caster and pinion correction. Fox 2.5 Elite DSC shocks give you on-the-fly compression adjustment — open it up for trail compliance, firm it up for highway stability. Adjustable upper and lower control arms allow precise alignment post-install. Axle wrap is eliminated and the JK 2-Door's shorter wheelbase benefits significantly from the improved geometry at this lift height.

Verified Fitment (OFAS Standard)

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. Confirm DSC adjuster knob placement for driver accessibility during install. 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

Running Fox 2.5 Elite DSC on a J-Konnect 3.5" long-arm JK 2-Door build — how does the JK's shorter wheelbase affect the DSC low-speed compression tuning compared to a JL 4-Door at the same lift height? The JK 2-Door's shorter wheelbase produces faster chassis pitch cycles over trail obstacles, which means the DSC low-speed circuit is more active per mile of trail than on a longer-wheelbase platform. Contact OFAS with your tire size and primary terrain and we'll give you a DSC baseline starting point calibrated for the JK 2-Door's specific pitch behavior at 3.5" of lift.
