Jeep Has a New Lift Kit Designed to Improve Off-Road Performance

The new Jeep Performance Parts kit includes special high-performance shocks to give drivers better control and handling.

Knowing that the current climate is all about off-roading, Jeep is giving its Wrangler and Gladiator owners the opportunity to upgrade to a 2-inch lift kit and special performance shock absorbers. Even better, the Bilstein shocks are already tuned and designed to work with large wheels and tires. The new lift kit is being marketed through Jeep Performance Parts so it is designed to fit the newer 2018-2024 Jeep Wranglers and 2020-2024 Jeep Gladiators perfectly, you won’t even have to drill any holes for the new parts.

“Our Jeep Performance Parts team at Mopar is always looking for innovative ways to improve performance for off-road enthusiasts,” said Mike Koval, head of Mopar North America. “With more than 500 quality-tested, factory-backed performance parts and accessories across the Jeep lineup, our customers win with new options to upgrade and personalize their vehicles.”  

Special High-Performance Shocks for Hitting the Trails

Bilstein is a huge name in performance shock absorbers. This JPP 2-inch lift kit includes specially tuned Bilstein 46-millimeter monotube shocks with remote reservoirs that are designed to work with larger wheels and tires.

 

According to JPP, “The new Bilstein shocks complement increased ground clearance and larger wheels and tires by offering consistent, fade-free performance in all conditions. In addition, a self-adjusting, deflective-disc valve reacts instantly to surface changes, giving the driver maximum control.”

 

The remote reservoirs increase oil capacity which helps heat dissipate. New improved fittings better protect the reservoir oil line. The new bolt-on JPP lift kit is easily installed in stock mounting locations with no extra drilling needed. 

What the JPP 2-inch Lift Kit Includes

The new JPP lift kit includes four springs, four Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs, front lower control arms, front and rear stabilizer links, front and rear bump stops, assorted fasteners and the JPP badge. The kit is specially packed in a custom, reusable wooden crate branded with the JPP logo. 

 

“We can’t wait for our Jeep off-road community to experience the new Jeep Performance Parts lift kit with Bilstein shocks on Wrangler and Gladiator this summer,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “There is nothing quite like legendary Jeep 4x4 capability for enthusiasts who want to tackle the toughest terrains.”

 

The new JPP 2-inch lift kit is available for 2018 model-year and newer Jeep Wranglers (JL body types) and 2020 model-year and newer Jeep Gladiators (JT body types). The suggested retail price is $2,095.
