Overview:

The Fabtech 3-inch Trail Gas 4WD Shock with DLSS Reservoir is a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for the 2020 Jeep Gladiator 6-cylinder models. Engineered to enhance off-road capability, this lift kit delivers superior performance across a wide range of terrains including rock crawling, aggressive trail riding, and overland expeditions. It offers a balanced combination of ride comfort and rugged durability, making it an excellent choice for daily drivers who demand both on-road compliance and off-road toughness.

Key Features:

Fabtech’s Trail Gas 4WD Shock with DLSS Reservoir includes a range of advanced features designed to maximize suspension performance and durability:

• Complete short arm suspension system using factory lower control arm mounts for easy installation
• Dual rate coil springs, corner-specific for the Jeep Gladiator, to maintain vehicle level and increase suspension travel
• Fabtech 5 Ton Joint technology in lower link arms for enhanced longevity and quiet operation
• Heavy-duty thick wall steel tubing lower link arms guaranteed never to bend
• Draglink Flip kit and heavy-duty Track Bar bracket to correct steering geometry and prevent binding
• Front and rear bump stop extensions to protect suspension components from over-cycling
• Shock valving tuned for a compliant ride that balances comfort with off-road capability
• Designed to accommodate tire sizes up to 37” with minor trimming or cutting depending on fender type

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s suspension components are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure strength and durability in the harshest off-road environments. The lower link arms are constructed from thick wall steel tubing, providing exceptional resistance to bending and deformation. Large polyurethane bushings combined with internally threaded ends allow for the integration of Fabtech’s innovative 5 Ton Joint, which enhances durability and reduces noise.

The dual rate coil springs are engineered specifically for the Jeep Gladiator’s chassis, with a two-stage design that offers a soft initial ride and increased support under heavy loads or high-speed impacts. The shocks feature a remote reservoir (DLSS) design that improves heat dissipation and maintains consistent damping performance during extended off-road use.

Installation & Fitment:

This Fabtech lift kit is designed for a direct bolt-on installation using the factory lower control arm mounts, simplifying the upgrade process. It fits 2020 Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition, Overland, Rubicon, and Sport models equipped with 6-cylinder engines. Minor trimming or cutting of fenders may be required depending on tire and wheel size combinations, especially when using high clearance fenders and larger tires up to 37 inches.

For heavy off-road use, additional driveshafts (front FTS94057 and rear FTS94065) are recommended for 4-door models to maintain drivetrain reliability.
