Upgraded my suspension with the mopar 2 inch lift kit and with the simple install of this stabilizer, my complete fox shock JL looks and drives great!
Quadratec acknowledged when I ordered them that they would be delayed and they were a couple of times but that isn't their fault nor Fox's. My one-star deduction goes to the bracket. I wish I would have tried the bracket first! My one piece of advice, try the bracket first and determine whether you need to modify it. I tried persuading while in place, the two front holes are fine, it was the side hole that got me. I ended up taking it on and off a couple of times and drilling the hole larger. In the end, it works nicely. I haven't been out to really test it out but it drives down the highway straight.
I'm giving the product a poor rating just because of my interaction with FOX. My first one arrived with the hardware missing so no go on the install. Quadratech was amazing and overnighted me a new one that arrived complete. The part looks great and performs pretty much as expected. The install should be pretty straight forward and just about anyone can do it in an hour or less. However, the bracket that came with mine was junk. There was no way it would fit the holes and was bent improperly from the manufacturer. I actually put a Jack under it to bend it so I could get the bottom bolt in. Also not impressed with FOX as when I called them to try to get a bracket they did nothing for me and said that's what happens sometimes, we can get a bracket to you in a week or so. The guy I spoke to on the phone at FOX had crap for customer skills, I was so angry when I hung up I wanted to reach through the phone and choke him. Luckily the guy I spoke with at Quadratech was a great help. But FOX just ensured my now shocks will be Teraflex instead.
Did not fit. Our 2022 JL Sport uses a carriage bolt on the knuckle-side of the factory SS and the Fox SS uses a round OEM bolt. Even if we used the axle-side factory SS bolt, it would rattle in the knuckle-side square carriage bolt hole. The axle-side bracket needed to be bent a few more degrees for the underside bolt hole to line up.
Failed in less than 10 months and the replacement is on back order.
If I could give it less than one star I would. Complete waste of money it failed in less than 6 months.
