Overview
The Rubicon Express JL7134PB is a 2-inch economy suspension lift kit with piggyback monotube reservoir shocks for the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL. It is a direct fit for both 2-door and 4-door JL models.
The kit uses urethane coil spacers, sway bar drops and bump stop extensions. Rubicon Express says these keep the factory springs and dampers in use while making room for 35-inch tall tires, and up to 37-inch tires on Rubicon models.
The shocks are monotube reservoir units at the front and rear, and the specifications list them as included. The lift height range is 0 to 3.5 inches, and the kit uses a block and spacer at the rear with a coil spring component.
Key features
- Piggyback monotube reservoir shocks at the front and rear, included
- Urethane coil spacers that keep the factory springs
- Sway bar drops and bump stop extensions
- Room for 35-inch tires, and up to 37-inch tires on Rubicon models
- Economy kit in the Rubicon Express lift line
Before you buy
An economy lift kit like this one keeps the factory coil springs and dampers in service and adds height with urethane spacers, so the ride stays close to stock. Sway bar drops and bump stop extensions are part of that setup and should be installed together so the suspension geometry holds at the new height.
Monotube reservoir shocks handle heat and sustained damping better than many stock units, which matters on longer trail runs. Because the shocks are longer and sit at a different angle, check the shock length against the new ride height once the kit is in place.
- Check tire rubbing at full steering lock after installation
- Re-torque hardware after the first few trail runs
- Inspect bump stops and sway bar links during routine service
