The JSPEC138KNS delivers the full J-Kontrol 2.5\" HD system with shock extension brackets, allowing you to retain and reuse your existing shock absorbers. HD coils handle the weight of a steel bumper or winch without sagging.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering Question\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarrying over a set of Fox 2.5 Performance or Bilstein 5100 shocks into this J-Kontrol 2.5\" HD build on an accessorized JL 4-Door — will the extension brackets maintain correct shock travel at full droop under HD coil load with a steel bumper and winch? The extension bracket geometry is designed for specific collapsed and extended shock lengths. A shock that clears at stock ride height may bind or over-extend at 2.5\" with HD coils under a heavy front end if the travel range isn't matched. Send OFAS your shock model, current eye-to-eye measurement, and front-end accessory weight before ordering — we'll confirm drop-in fitment before the kit ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"JKS Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444633403713,"sku":"JSPEC138KNS","price":1285.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/1284\/1793\/files\/JSPEC138KNS_0-BKWD.jpg?v=1772726125","url":"https:\/\/obsidianforgedautosupply.com\/products\/jks-jspec138kns","provider":"Obsidian Forged Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
