Kit Features:
- RockJock Spec. Dual-Rate Springs - Feature a soft initial rate that absorbs small bumps and trail chop, to deliver a smooth, comfortable ride, while a firmer secondary rate helps soak up larger impacts and reduce bottoming. A key differentiator of RockJock spec. dual-rate springs is the positioning of the crossover point between the initial and secondary spring rates so that a portion of the softer initial rate is available and active at ride height before crossing over to the firmer secondary rate deeper into the travel.
- Bump Stop Spacers - Heavy duty bump stop extensions stand up to hard use while keeping the tires off of the shiny new JT fenders! The front bump stops in this kit are unique to the diesel vehicles.
- Johnny Joint Control Arms – Heavy duty upper and lower control arms feature RockJock Johnny Joints, the original and most durable high-articulation urethane suspension joint on the market. Johnny Joints feature a smooth steel ball that pivots inside a proprietary urethane shell to provide over 30 degrees (per joint) of quiet, shock dampening articulation - without the excessive deflection found in soft rubber-based flex joints. Johnny Joints are so trusted, that they are used by multiple commercial suspension companies, for both street and off-road suspension systems. Learn more here.
- Johnny Joint Trac Bars - Heavy duty adjustable length Trac Bars included are our forged chromoly, organically shaped front bar and our chromoly rear bar. Our Trac Bars combine a precise fit with increased strength and adjustable length to perfectly center front and rear axles under the vehicle. High-articulation Johnny Joint ends provide maximum durability and suspension flex.
Optional Add-On Components - Add-on components enable the RockJock Pro Edition Suspension Lift to be customized for increased off-road capabilities and tuning.

- Antirock Sway Bars - The most popular off-road sway bar on the market enhances off-road driving capabilities with balanced performance of front and rear suspension in rugged off-road conditions. Off-road traction is improved with increased suspension flex and by equalizing and distributing the weight of the vehicle over all four tires - without the overly loose feeling created by sway bar disconnects.
