How to order JT Replacement Shocks “Front Lift Height” selection

[Hunter1212]

Hello,

I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I have done nothing to it as far as suspension modifications.. The fox front shock completely blown, no fluid in them. I need replace them. When I go on Fox website all shocks have 3 options to choose.

0-1.5” lift
2-3” Lift
3-4” lift

Which one would I select for my jeep?

With a stock suspension, choose the 0-1.5" Lift option, both front and rear. Change all four shocks, if possible.

0-1.5 Bilstein 5100

Another vote for the Biltstein 5100's 0"-1.5".

B8 5100 it is.

Question: Front comes in 0-1.5”

Rear tho come 0-1” or 1.5-2.5”? Which one for the rear?

Also are these better then Fox 2.0 series?

If you don't have a lift, order the option closest to zero. Otherwise, order something in the range that matches the amount of lift above stock.

Better is subjective, each provides a different ride due to the tuning.

Do you want a soft ride, or firm?
Are you going to be packing any weight, or usually always empty?
Going off road, or always on the pavement?

Determine your wants, needs, and your budget, and find something that matches.

Bilstein makes good shocks that the majority of buyers are happy with.

Fox retail shocks have a good reputation. The custom manufactured models for Jeep, not so much, except for those that come on the Mojave.

I do 50/50 paved and off road overlanding. I carry rack with roof top tent on a lot of the time.

2020 4.3 yrs old now I have 98,000 miles on Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

The Bilstein shocks would be a good overall choice. You may want something adjustable to modify the ride when the rack and tent are not installed.

the B8 5100 Comes in

0-1” or 1.5-2.5”?

Staying stock, you want 0"-1".
