The JSPEC146PS delivers JKS long-arm control arms with Fox 2.5 Performance Series reservoir shocks and HD coil springs, engineered for the JL 2-Door platform with accessory loads. The J-Konnect's long-arm geometry delivers superior caster correction and articulation compared to a short-arm system at this lift height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3\" of lift with JKS long-arm caster and pinion correction. HD coils maintain ride height under accessory loads on the JL 2-Door platform. Fox 2.5 reservoir shocks deliver consistent damping and heat dissipation on extended trail runs. Adjustable upper and lower control arms allow precise alignment post-install. The JL 2-Door's shorter wheelbase benefits significantly from the long-arm geometry's improved caster correction at this lift height.\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 2-Door — Gas Models (2.0T, 3.6L), Accessorized Builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes NOT fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e JL 4-Door (Unlimited) | 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 2-Door builds with steel bumpers or winch.

Professional 4-wheel alignment required post-installation. Torque all control arm hardware to JKS specification after a 500-mile break-in. Confirm Fox 2.5 reservoir clearance against skid plates and body panels. No cutting or welding required for standard JL 2-Door gas applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel \u0026amp; Tire Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for 35\"–37\" tires on an accessorized build. Recommended backspacing: 4.5\"–4.75\" on a 17\"×9\" or 18\"×9\" wheel. The JL 2-Door's shorter wheelbase makes fender clearance more sensitive to tire width at 3\" of lift — confirm tread width and brand before finalizing wheel selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering Question\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoosing between the J-Konnect 3\" long-arm and the J-Krawl 3\" for a JL 2-Door build with a steel bumper and winch — both run Fox 2.5 reservoir shocks and HD coils, so what's the real-world difference in trail performance? The J-Konnect is engineered for trail performance and daily driving with superior caster correction and highway stability. The J-Krawl is engineered for maximum articulation on dedicated crawler terrain. If your JL 2-Door sees a mix of trail use, daily driving, and occasional technical terrain, the J-Konnect is the right platform. If it's a dedicated crawler, the J-Krawl is the better call. Contact OFAS with your build priorities and we'll confirm which system fits your specific JL 2-Door use case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"JKS Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444630323521,"sku":"JSPEC146PS","price":2391.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/1284\/1793\/files\/JSPEC146PS_0-BKWD.jpg?v=1772726055","url":"https:\/\/obsidianforgedautosupply.com\/products\/jks-jspec146ps","provider":"Obsidian Forged Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
