2018–2026 Jeep Gladiator

TP2516VV

Overview:

The Belltech Trail Performance 4-inch Lift Rear Shock is engineered specifically for Jeep Gladiator models from 2018 through 2026. Designed to enhance ride quality and vehicle control, this premium twin-tube gas-charged shock absorber is ideal for both leveled and lifted Gladiators. It expertly manages pitch, roll, dive, and squat, providing drivers with confidence and stability whether on-road or tackling off-road trails. This shock is perfect for Jeep enthusiasts seeking improved handling and comfort with large aggressive tires.

Belltech’s engineers focused on tuning the low-speed compression characteristics to optimize the shock’s response to subtle terrain changes and driving dynamics. The progressive rebound tuning complements aftermarket wheels, ensuring a smooth yet firm ride that maintains control over rough terrain and extended shock travel.

Key Features:

Built to deliver superior performance and durability, the Belltech Trail Performance Rear Shock includes the following features:

• Metal dust boots protect the piston rod and sealing system from dirt, debris, and UV damage
• Hardened 15mm chrome piston rods for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance
• Triple lip NBR rod seal combined with a Teflon guide bushing for low friction and long-lasting sealing
• Large 35mm pistons with low-friction Teflon seals for precise hydraulic control
• Wide 51mm shock body increases oil volume for improved heat dissipation and shock longevity
• OEM-quality rubber bushings tuned for high durometer to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)
• Progressive rebound tuning tailored to complement large off-road tires and aggressive wheel setups
• Twin-tube design enhances shock response and durability under extreme conditions
• Gas-charged construction minimizes fade and maintains consistent damping performance
• 2-year unlimited mileage warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design:

The Belltech Trail Performance shock absorber is crafted with high-quality materials and precision engineering to withstand the rigors of off-road driving and lifted suspension setups. The 15mm hardened chrome piston rod resists bending and corrosion, while the triple lip NBR rod seal and Teflon guide bushing ensure smooth piston movement and long service life. The large 51mm shock body accommodates increased oil volume, which helps dissipate heat effectively during extended use, reducing wear and maintaining consistent damping.

Durability is further enhanced by the steel dust cover, which shields critical components from environmental damage without deteriorating from UV exposure or chemicals. The vulcanized rubber bushings are specifically tuned to reduce NVH, providing a quieter and more comfortable ride without sacrificing performance.

This rear shock is designed as a direct replacement for most 2018–2026 Jeep Gladiator models, including popular trims such as the Rubicon, Mojave, Overland, Sport, and Willys editions. Installation requires no major modifications and fits both leveled and lifted Gladiators with a 4-inch lift. The shock ships ready to install in a single box, making the upgrade process straightforward for experienced enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
