King Shocks 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rear 2.5 Dia Piggy Hose Res Shock 0-2in Lift w/Adjuster (Pair)

What you get in this kit are a pair of King Shocks rear shock absorbers specifically built for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ. These shocks are designed to work with suspension lifts ranging from 0 to 2 inches and feature external piggyback reservoirs with adjustable damping. The external reservoirs help dissipate heat, which is crucial for maintaining consistent performance during hard use, and the adjusters let you fine-tune the ride quality to your liking. King has custom-tuned the damping curves and spring rates for the TJ, drawing on extensive real-world testing to ensure they work well with your Jeep's weight and suspension geometry.

These shocks are a well-built upgrade over stock components, aiming to improve both the on-road comfort and the off-road capability of your Wrangler. The 2.5-inch diameter body offers increased fluid capacity and better heat dissipation compared to smaller shocks. The piggyback reservoirs are connected via hoses, giving you flexibility in mounting them to best suit your setup, especially with a lift kit. The adjustable damping allows you to dial in the shock's response, making it softer for daily driving or firmer for tackling rough terrain.

When installing these, remember they are designed as a direct replacement for the rear shocks on your lifted TJ. The adjusters on the reservoirs allow you to make changes to the damping characteristics without needing to remove the shocks. This means you can experiment with different settings to find what works best for your driving style and the terrain you typically encounter.
