The JSPEC138PS delivers JKS J-Kontrol control arms with Fox 2.5 Performance Series reservoir shocks and HD coil springs. HD coils handle the weight of a steel bumper or winch without sagging, and the J-Kontrol's geometry correction delivers improved caster and pinion angle at 2.5\" of lift without the complexity of a long-arm conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5\" of lift with JKS J-Kontrol geometry correction. HD coils maintain ride height under accessory loads. Fox 2.5 reservoir shocks deliver consistent damping and heat dissipation on extended trail runs. Adjustable control arms allow precise alignment post-install. At 2.5\" of lift, the J-Kontrol delivers meaningful geometry improvement over a spacer lift while keeping the install straightforward.\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 (2.0T, 3.6L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes NOT fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e JL 2-Door | JL EcoDiesel | JL 4xe Hybrid | JK (any year) | Gladiator JT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoil Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e HD Rate — engineered for accessorized JL 4-Door builds with steel bumpers or winch.

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\u003eChoosing between the J-Kontrol 2.5\" HD and J-Kontrol 3.5\" HD for an accessorized JL 4-Door build with Fox 2.5 reservoir shocks — if the accessory load is the same, what's the practical difference in geometry correction and tire clearance between the two lift heights? At 2.5\", the J-Kontrol delivers meaningful geometry improvement over a spacer lift with a more street-friendly stance and less driveline stress. At 3.5\", you gain meaningful tire clearance for 37\" tires and improved approach angle. The geometry correction quality is similar at both heights — the decision is about tire size and stance. Contact OFAS with your tire plan and accessory weight and we'll confirm which lift height is the right call for your specific JL 4-Door build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"JKS Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444632912193,"sku":"JSPEC138PS","price":2109.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/1284\/1793\/files\/JSPEC138PS_0-BKWD.jpg?v=1772726114","url":"https:\/\/obsidianforgedautosupply.com\/products\/jks-jspec138ps","provider":"Obsidian Forged Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
