Raptor 4x4 Rear Lift Shock +2-3'' Jeep Wrangler TJ

A factory shock fitted to a lifted suspension works outside the range it was designed for - it either bottoms out too early or fails to use the axle's full extra range of motion. Raptor 4x4's rear shock solves that, since its length and piston travel are sized specifically for a 2-3 inch lift.

The distinctive blue dust boot on the shock shaft protects it from mud, sand and moisture that settle on the shaft off-road and accelerate seal wear. It's a detail that in practice extends the shock's service life when it's run in tough conditions, not just on the road.

Compatibility

Built for the rear axle of the Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006), sized for a 2-3 inch suspension lift. Raptor 4x4 offers separate variants for the front axle and other lift heights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shock fit a stock, non-lifted TJ?

No, its length and travel are sized for a 2-3 inch lift - on a stock suspension the travel would be restricted in the wrong way.

What's the blue boot on the shaft for?

The dust boot protects the shock shaft and seals from mud, sand and moisture, reducing premature wear when driving off-road.

Does installation need extra brackets?

The shock bolts into the original rear axle and body mounting points, with no extra brackets needed as long as the lift falls within the 2-3 inch range.

Why it's worth it

• Travel and length matched precisely to a 2-3'' lift, with no restricted axle movement.
• Shaft dust boot extends service life in tough off-road conditions.
• Bolts into the original rear axle mounting points.

If your TJ's lift falls in this range, this shock is sized for it with no compromises.
