Rear Upper Shock Mount Extension Brackets

The Barnes 4WD Jeep JK Rear Upper Shock Mount Extension Brackets are engineered to significantly alter your rear suspension geometry, providing more clearance and accommodating longer-travel shocks. These brackets elevate the upper shock mount by 2 inches and reposition it rearward by about 2.50 inches. This change is crucial for utilizing shocks with greater travel, preventing bottoming out, and improving overall ground clearance, especially when used with compatible lower control arm and relocation brackets. The design incorporates a specific cutout to permit the full range of suspension articulation without interference or damage to the shock body. The brackets are shipped bare and require powder coating or painting prior to installation to prevent corrosion. It is important to note that modifications to the exhaust system and heat shield may be necessary to accommodate the relocated sway bar and shocks. Furthermore, altering the shock angle can impact the vehicle's ride quality, and while tested with factory shocks, users should verify their specific setup before making permanent modifications.
