Construction & Design

Built from robust 3/16" and 1/4" steel plates, the JKS Rear Shock Relocation Kit is engineered to withstand the harsh demands of off-road driving. The dual-shear shock mounts provide a secure and durable attachment point that reduces stress on both the shocks and axle, extending component life.

The integrated rear control arm mount skid plate is strategically positioned to shield critical suspension components from rocks, debris, and other trail hazards. A black powder-coated finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, rugged appearance that complements your Jeep’s factory look.

Precision engineering guarantees that the relocated mounts preserve proper suspension geometry, ensuring your Jeep’s handling and ride quality remain uncompromised even after installation.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the JKS Rear Shock Relocation Kit is a bolt-on process that requires removal of the factory rear shock mounts and sway bar link mounts. Some trimming of the control arm mount is necessary to accommodate the new brackets, and minor drilling is required to securely fasten the components.

This kit is specifically designed to fit 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and Unlimited models, as well as 2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The relocation of the shock mounts and sway bar link mounts ensures compatibility with factory shocks and suspension components, making it an ideal upgrade for Jeep owners seeking improved off-road clearance and durability without sacrificing factory fitment.
