Check Out 2007-2018 Jeep JK Shock Upgrades
Your Jeep JK comes with a rugged suspension from the factory, but it may not be enough for off-roading, or you may think it's too uncomfortable for your commute. This is where aftermarket Jeep JK shocks can help you out. One of the most notable benefits is a smoother ride, especially if you plan on going off-road. With the right shocks, your Jeep will glide right over uneven surfaces, bumps, and even through potholes.
Another benefit of upgrading your Jeep JK shocks is better handling. If you’re someone who loves to hit the trails, having an upgrade to your vehicle’s handling makes having fun behind the wheel a lot less dangerous. Aftermarket shocks will also reduce the strain on other components, and with the right setup, you can give yourself room for a lift kit or bigger wheels and tires. Unfortunately, stock suspension parts just don't hold up well when adding lift kits and bigger wheels and tires.
How to Choose the Best 2007-2018 Jeep JK Shocks for Your Build
First things first, consider how you plan on driving your Jeep. If you plan on towing things, you may want to go with a leveling kit and shocks that can handle extra weight. It also helps to choose shocks based on brands that you like or have worked with in the past. Going with Fox shocks for Jeep JKs can be a great idea, especially if you've been to meets where people have had them or if you've used them in the past. Sometimes, a little bit of confidence in the best brand is all you need to upgrade your ride.
Aside from the type of Jeep JK shocks, you have to consider additional modifications your ride has or that you plan on installing down the line. Let's say you have a four-inch lift. Unfortunately, some shocks are only rated for one to two inches of lift, so you won't be able to install them. While this might not be a problem right now, if you plan on adding bigger wheels and tires or a lift kit, you may have to replace the shocks again down the line. Thankfully, Fox shocks for Jeep JKs come in a wide variety of size accommodations, and a lot of other brands offer the same level of flexibility.
