The JSPEC158K delivers the complete J-Venture 3.5\" system with JKS J-Spec monotube shocks, engineered specifically for the EcoDiesel's heavier front end. It's the base-shock configuration of the J-Venture 3.5\" EcoDiesel lineup — proven geometry correction, functional damping, and a clear upgrade path when you're ready to step up to Fox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.5\" of lift with JKS J-Venture geometry correction calibrated for the EcoDiesel's front-end weight. J-Spec monotube shocks provide a functional, predictable damping baseline that outperforms factory units under the diesel's heavier front-end load. No differential drop required. Adjustable control arms allow precise alignment post-install. The platform is shock-upgrade-ready when you're ready to step up to Fox 2.0 Performance or Fox 2.5 Elite.\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 2020–2024 Jeep Wrangler JL 4-Door (Unlimited) — 3.0L EcoDiesel ONLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes NOT fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e JL Gas Models (2.0T, 3.6L) | JL 4xe Hybrid | JL 2-Door | 2025–2026 JL (EcoDiesel not offered) | JK (any year)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e EcoDiesel was available in the JL 4-Door from 2020–2024 only.

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 EcoDiesel applications. Shock upgrade path (Fox 2.0 Performance, Fox 2.5 Elite) is compatible with this control arm platform — confirm eye-to-eye length with OFAS before purchasing replacement shocks, as EcoDiesel shock travel specs may differ from gas JL variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel \u0026amp; Tire Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for 35\"–37\" tires. Recommended backspacing: 4.5\"–4.75\" on a 17\"×9\" or 18\"×9\" wheel. The EcoDiesel's heavier front end affects fender clearance differently than the gas JL — 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\u003eStarting with J-Spec shocks on the J-Venture 3.5\" short-arm EcoDiesel JL 4-Door platform and planning a Fox upgrade later — is the J-Venture short-arm's shock upgrade path on the EcoDiesel platform identical to the gas JL J-Venture 3.5\" short-arm, or does the diesel's heavier coil rate create different shock eye-to-eye length requirements? The EcoDiesel-specific coil rate in this kit is tuned for the diesel's front-end weight, which can affect the shock's static ride position and travel arc compared to the gas JL variant. Before purchasing an upgrade shock, contact OFAS with your EcoDiesel's specific build weight and we'll confirm the correct eye-to-eye spec and valving recommendation for your platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"JKS Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444627013953,"sku":"JSPEC158K","price":1148.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/1284\/1793\/files\/JSPEC158K_0-BKWD.jpg?v=1772725988","url":"https:\/\/obsidianforgedautosupply.com\/products\/jks-jspec158k","provider":"Obsidian Forged Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
