Fabtech Basic Suspension System with Performance Shocks

2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler / Wrangler JK

K4037

Overview:

The Fabtech Basic Suspension System with Performance Shocks is engineered to enhance the off-road capability and on-road performance of Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 through 2018, including the Wrangler JK series. This 3-inch lift system utilizes factory coil springs paired with durable steel coil spacers to provide reliable clearance for larger tires up to 35 inches, making it an ideal upgrade for Jeep enthusiasts seeking improved ground clearance without compromising ride quality.

Designed to maintain the integrity of Jeep’s factory suspension geometry, this system offers a balanced approach to lift and performance. It is perfect for drivers who want to run larger tires and improve their vehicle’s stance while preserving the smooth, controlled ride expected from a Jeep Wrangler.

Key Features:

This suspension system combines practical design with robust components to deliver dependable lift and enhanced handling:

• 3-inch lift using factory coil springs with heavy-duty steel coil spacers
• Compatible with 35/12.50R17 tires and larger with minor trimming or cutting depending on wheel and tire size
• Includes replacement Pitman Arm for improved steering response
• Front and rear Trac Bar relocation brackets to maintain proper axle alignment
• Adjustable alignment cams to ensure precise front-end alignment
• Front and rear sway bar links and bump stop mounts for enhanced suspension articulation
• Gusset kit for added structural reinforcement
• Front driveshaft boot clamp kit to prevent interference during full suspension articulation
• Optional heavy-duty driveshafts with large 1310 U-joints available for increased strength in off-road conditions

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s Basic Suspension System is built with high-quality steel components engineered for durability and long-lasting performance. The system leverages the Jeep’s factory coil springs, enhancing them with precision-engineered steel coil spacers to achieve a consistent 3-inch lift. The included gusset kit reinforces critical mounting points, ensuring the system withstands the rigors of off-road use.

Adjustable alignment cams and relocation brackets are designed to maintain proper suspension geometry, reducing wear on tires and drivetrain components while improving handling stability. The front driveshaft boot clamp kit is a thoughtful addition that prevents damage during extreme articulation, preserving drivetrain integrity.

Installation & Fitment:

The Fabtech Basic Suspension System is designed for direct bolt-on installation on Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 to 2017 and Wrangler JK models from 2018. Installation requires minor trimming or cutting of fender components depending on tire and wheel size, especially when running 37-inch tires or larger. Exhaust spacers are required for all installations on 2012 and newer Jeep Wranglers to ensure proper clearance.

For off-road use, heavy-duty driveshafts are recommended and required for certain 2-door and 4-door models across the 2007–2018 range to handle increased suspension travel and torque demands. Professional installation is advised to ensure all components are properly aligned and torque specifications are met.

What's Included:

• 3-inch steel coil spacers
• Replacement Pitman Arm
• Front and rear Trac Bar relocation brackets
• Front and rear sway bar links
• Front and rear bump stop mounts
• Gusset kit for structural reinforcement

• Front driveshaft boot clamp kit

Ideal For:

This suspension system is ideal for Jeep Wrangler owners who want a reliable, moderate lift to accommodate larger tires for improved off-road clearance and enhanced vehicle stance. It suits daily drivers who also enjoy weekend trail adventures, providing a balance between factory ride comfort and off-road capability. It is especially well-suited for those who prefer to retain much of the factory suspension design while upgrading for better performance and tire clearance.
