Fabtech Trail II Performance Shocks

2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler / Jeep Wrangler JK

K4051

Overview:

The Fabtech 3-inch Trail II Performance Shocks suspension system is engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 through 2018, including the Wrangler JK series. Designed for serious off-road enthusiasts, this suspension kit enhances vehicle capability on rugged trails, rock crawling, and overland expeditions while maintaining a smooth and quiet ride on the highway. By replacing the factory lower link arms with heavy-duty short arms and incorporating performance shocks, the Trail II system delivers improved durability and superior handling in demanding off-road conditions.

This system is ideal for Jeep owners seeking a balanced suspension upgrade that preserves factory load capacities and ride quality while providing the strength and articulation needed for aggressive trail use.

Key Features:

The Fabtech Trail II system integrates advanced components and thoughtful engineering to optimize off-road performance and on-road comfort:

• Replaces all four lower link arms with robust short arms designed to resist damage from off-road obstacles
• Large polyurethane bushings on one end and internally threaded ends to accept Fabtech’s 5 Ton Joint for enhanced durability and quiet operation
• Standard single-rate coil springs front and rear that maintain factory load-carrying capacity
• Includes adjustable front track bar and reinforced rear track bar bracket with support for improved axle alignment
• Front and rear sway bar links for stable handling and reduced body roll
• Front and rear brake lines and e-brake bracket to ensure proper fitment and safety
• Front bump stop extensions and rear bump stop brackets to protect suspension components during articulation
• High-performance shocks tuned for a balance of off-road control and highway comfort
• Compatible with tire sizes up to 37x12.50R20 with minor trimming or cutting depending on wheel offset and fender setup

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s Trail II suspension components are crafted from high-strength steel and engineered for longevity in harsh off-road environments. The short arm links feature large polyurethane bushings that reduce noise and vibration while providing precise articulation. The internally threaded ends accommodate Fabtech’s patented 5 Ton Joint, a heavy-duty spherical bearing designed to withstand extreme loads and extend service life.

The coil springs are designed as a single-rate setup, offering consistent performance and retaining the vehicle’s original load capacity. The adjustable track bar and reinforced brackets ensure proper axle positioning, critical for maintaining handling and tire wear. All components are finished with durable coatings to resist corrosion and wear.

Installation & Fitment:

This comprehensive suspension kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation using the factory link arm mounts, simplifying the upgrade process. Installation requires moderate mechanical skills and may involve minor trimming or cutting of fender components depending on tire and wheel size. Exhaust spacers are required for Jeep Wranglers from 2012 onward to ensure proper clearance.

For off-road use, replacement driveshafts are recommended for 2-door models from 2007 to 2018 to accommodate increased suspension travel. Detailed instructions and all necessary hardware are included to facilitate a professional installation.
