What type of shocks can I use after installing this conversion kit?

This kit converts your factory stem-type shock mounts to accept standard eye ring style shock absorbers. This significantly broadens your options, especially for popular extreme-travel aftermarket shocks.

How does this kit affect my suspension's travel?

The bracket relocates the upper shock mount 1.10 inches lower. This change makes installation easier and also allows for additional droop in your suspension.

What is the purpose of the zinc plating?

The zinc plating is applied for corrosion resistance. This helps protect the bracket from rust and ensures long-lasting protection and appearance.

Product Details

JKS Manufacturing is known for making well-built suspension components for Jeeps. If you're working on your 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee, this front upper shock mount conversion kit is designed to make upgrading your shocks much easier. It takes the factory stem-type mounts and converts them so you can use standard eyelet-style shocks, which are far more common in the aftermarket, especially for those looking for longer travel options.

This kit features massive 7/8-inch mounting studs, which are significantly stronger than the smaller 3/8-inch stems they replace, giving you solid security. The bracket itself lowers the upper shock mount by 1.10 inches. This small change makes bolt access much easier during installation and also allows for a bit more droop in your suspension. The zinc plating helps resist corrosion, keeping things looking good and functioning properly for a long time.

Using this conversion kit opens up a world of popular extreme-travel aftermarket shock absorbers that wouldn't fit your stock setup. It's a straightforward way to improve your suspension's capability.
