Is this the same shock as in the MOPAR Lift?

[Gruffid]

I’m looking for the performance specs for the Fox shocks in the MOPAR 2” lift. Are these them:

If not, can one of you provide the link to what is in the lift kit? I’m just doing a comparison of some of the other shocks I’m considering upgrading to.

Thanks!

following.... be interesting to know

If I’m reading it right I’d say not the same. The shocks in the Mopar lift are 2.5” in diameter, at least for my JTR.

 

[Gruffid]

Perhaps I’m not looking in the right place, would any of you nice folks be able to post a link to the correct shock?

Ultimately you may find the same model shock, but who knows what custom valving Mopar uses.

Pretty sure the Fox 2.5 shock from the Mopar kit is only available from the dealer

Can get part numbers off the part sheet: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gladiator-mopar-2-lift-kit-now-available.16160/

Yes, but those are MOPAR part numbers. I think @just_another_guy is right, the only way to get these EXACT shocks is from MOPAR, Fox does not sell an OEM version of these.

Yea that’s kinda what I was alluding to, I guess. If you want the exact shock, you need the OEM part (number).

Ok, then let’s punt. Does anyone have the performance characteristics of the MOPAR FOX shock in the 2” lift? Most importantly, I’m looking for compressed length and extended length. And between the two compressed length is more important.

Does anyone have that info?

We do not have shocks that are the exact equivalent to the Fox shock in the Mopar 2" lift kit.

We do have the Fox 2.5" Performance Elite shocks w/ reservoirs:

I don't remember where I got this from (maybe an different version of what was posted in the link from @just_another_guy above):

The highlights are mine, which is the 3.6L version of the shocks. Looks like you have a Diesel, so make sure the part numbers listed are correct, but the specs are essentially the same

Thanks for the link! That is a great table. Just what I was looking for.

That’s great! I was looking to see if the Fox 2.5 elite adjustable reservoir shocks in 3.5”+ have the same or shorter compressed length. I wanted to know if I could replace the shocks first, then upgrade the lift to 3.5” later.

It looks like with the Fox 2.5s I’m looking at, I can do exactly that.
