Construction & Design:
Fabtech’s JL Crawler system is engineered with precision and built to last. The massive lower link arms are fabricated from thick-walled steel tubing to resist bending under extreme off-road conditions. The front crossmember spans the full width of the frame rails, reinforcing the lighter JL frame and ensuring the link arms maintain their ideal geometry throughout suspension travel.
Rear link arms mount to newly designed frame brackets positioned to maximize ground clearance and approach angles, critical for technical trail driving. The system’s 5 Ton joints are renowned for their durability and smooth operation, backed by a lifetime warranty, making them a standout feature for both trail and street use.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Fabtech 5-inch Crawler system requires welding and some exhaust modifications on all 2018 Jeep JL Wranglers. Driveshaft replacements are necessary for 4-door models to accommodate the lift. Minor trimming or cutting of fenders may be required depending on tire and wheel size combinations. This kit is designed exclusively for 4-door Jeep Wrangler models from 2018 through 2021, including Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, and Sport S trims.
Recommended tire sizes vary based on fender type, with standard fenders supporting up to 37-inch tires and high clearance fenders accommodating up to 40-inch tires with appropriate wheel offsets and minor trimming or cutting.
