The JSPEC118KFP pairs JKS geometry-corrected short-arm control arms with Fox 2.0 Performance Series shocks and HD coil springs. It's the most accessible Fox-equipped configuration in the J-Venture 2.5\" HD lineup — no differential drop required, no fabrication, proven geometry correction.\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. HD coils maintain ride height under accessory loads. Fox 2.0 Performance shocks deliver consistent, predictable damping for moderate trail use and daily driving. No differential drop required.

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 JL 4-Door gas applications. For extended technical trail use with a heavy front end, consider upgrading to the Fox 2.5 reservoir variant (JSPEC118PS) for improved heat management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel \u0026amp; Tire Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for 35\" tires on an accessorized build. Recommended backspacing: 4.5\"–4.75\" on a 17\"×9\" or 18\"×9\" wheel. At 2.5\" of lift, fender clearance with 35s is tight — confirm tire brand and tread width before finalizing wheel selection. 37\" tires are not recommended at this lift height without fender modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering Question\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning a steel bumper and winch on a J-Venture 2.5\" HD short-arm build with Fox 2.0 non-reservoir shocks — how does added front-end mass affect shock body temperature on a sustained trail day compared to a stock-weight rig? A heavy front end increases the dynamic load on the shock body with every compression cycle. The 2.0 Performance handles moderate trail days well, but heat accumulates faster under sustained load than on a stock-weight build. If your trail days run 3+ hours on rocky terrain with a full steel front end, contact OFAS — we'll tell you whether the Fox 2.5 reservoir step-up is warranted for your specific build weight and terrain profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"JKS Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444661453121,"sku":"JSPEC118KFP","price":1836.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/1284\/1793\/files\/JSPEC118KFP_0-BKWD.jpg?v=1772726495","url":"https:\/\/obsidianforgedautosupply.com\/products\/jks-jspec118kfp","provider":"Obsidian Forged Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
