The JSPEC117K delivers the complete J-Venture 2.5\" standard-rate system with JKS J-Spec monotube shocks. It's the base-shock, trail-compliant configuration of the J-Venture 2.5\" lineup for stock-weight builds that want a clean short-arm install with no differential drop and no fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5\" of lift with JKS geometry-corrected short-arm control arms. Standard-rate coils maximize droop travel and trail articulation for stock-weight builds. J-Spec monotube shocks provide a functional, predictable damping baseline that outperforms factory units. No differential drop required. The platform is shock-upgrade-ready when you're ready to step up to Fox or King.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVerified Fitment (OFAS Standard)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL 4-Door (Unlimited) — Gas Models, Stock-Weight Configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes NOT fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e JL 2-Door | JL Diesel (EcoDiesel) | JL 4xe Hybrid | JK (2007–2018) | Gladiator JT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoil Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard-Rate — NOT recommended for builds with steel bumpers, winch, or heavy roof rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift Height: 2.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem: J-Venture Short-Arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock: JKS J-Spec Monotube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil Rate: Standard-Rate — optimized for stock-weight JL 4-Door builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Arms: JKS geometry-corrected short-arm control arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: JSPEC117K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Fabrication Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort-arm system does not require differential drop or relocation.

No cutting or welding required for standard JL 4-Door gas applications. Shock upgrade path (Fox 2.0, Fox 2.5, Fox 2.5 Elite) is compatible with this control arm platform — confirm eye-to-eye length with OFAS before purchasing replacement shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel \u0026amp; Tire Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimized for 35\" tires on a stock-weight build.

Yes — short-arm control arm geometry creates different shock mounting angles and clearance envelopes than long-arm. Reservoir routing that clears on a J-Konnect may conflict with a J-Venture bracket. Contact OFAS with your target shock model before you buy the upgrade and we'll confirm clearance and mounting compatibility for your specific JL 4-Door build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"JKS Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444663779649,"sku":"JSPEC117K","price":1452.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/1284\/1793\/files\/JSPEC117K_0-BKWD.jpg?v=1772726530","url":"https:\/\/obsidianforgedautosupply.com\/products\/jks-jspec117k","provider":"Obsidian Forged Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
