JKS Rear Upper Bushing Shock Bar Pin Eliminators

2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Part #: JKS9607

Overview

The JKS Rear Upper Bushing Shock Bar Pin Eliminators are a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for the rear upper shock mounts of the Jeep Wrangler JK model years 2007 through 2018. This innovative kit replaces the factory rubber bushings with heavy-duty cross pins and mount blocks, allowing the use of standard EB1 eyelet style shocks. By doing so, it increases shock absorber down travel by nearly half an inch, enhancing suspension performance and durability.
