From the makers of the world-famous performance shock absorbers, Bilstein has now created a bolt-on B8 5100 suspension lift kit for the Jeep JL platform. This is a complete high-performance 1.5-inch lift kit suspension system that provides more ground clearance, allows for larger tires, and increases wheel travel & articulation on all four corners of a solid axle Jeep Wrangler JL.
Perhaps the best part is that with the B8 5100 1.5-inch lift kit equipped Jeep JL Rubicon models could fit 35-inch tires on stock or aftermarket wheels. With the kit, non-Rubicon models could fit 33-inch tires on aftermarket wheels. No more guessing games of wheel and tire packages since Bilstein has established what is compatible with this kit.
The suspension kit highlights are the Bilstein B8 5100 monotube shocks and the longer travel cold wound springs which directly increase overall droop travel. The kit includes sway bar links to allow the suspension to achieve the full range of motion. The B8 5100 1.5-inch Lift Kit will maintain proper suspension geometry without the need for additional aftermarket components. This means your Jeep will gain a superior level of performance with minimal modification.
Bilstein declares this kit is for 2018 to 2023 Jeep JL Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited applications with 2.0-Liter or 3.6-Liter models excluding 4Xe and Extreme Recon Package. Designed to optimize and enhance the Jeep JL suspension, as delivered from the factory, there are no required additional components to correct suspension geometry. You can expect a plush and stable ride both on the road and off the road.
What Is Included?
Everything needed to complete the lift is provided including all necessary supporting components and hardware. There are detailed installation instructions that present exactly what is required. The two part numbers listed have one which accounts for the added weight of a front winch and one without.
