Fabtech's Crawler long arm systems use a full-width front crossmember and reinforced rear frame mounts to provide correct link arm geometry, and this shock is tuned to complement that setup for smooth, quiet street manners with the durability to handle serious off-road articulation.

FAQ
Is this shock sold individually or as a pair?This listing is for a single rear shock absorber. Confirm quantity needed for your installation before ordering.
Does this fit the 2-door Wrangler JL?This shock is specified for the 4-door JL 4WD configuration. Confirm compatibility with your specific 2-door setup before ordering if applicable.
Do I need Fabtech's Crawler long arm system to use this shock?This shock is designed to pair with Fabtech's Crawler long arm system for correct geometry and performance, so using it without that system may not deliver the intended ride characteristics.
Is this shock adjustable?Specific adjustability details should be confirmed against Fabtech's published specifications, as adjustment features are not listed in the available product data for this SKU.
Why choose a non-reservoir shock over a reservoir shock?Non-reservoir shocks offer a simpler, more compact rear installation. Reservoir shocks add oil capacity and heat dissipation benefits for more extreme or sustained off-road use.
Is professional installation required?Shock installation involves suspension disassembly and precise mounting, so professional installation is recommended unless you are experienced with suspension work.
Will I need an alignment after installing this shock?Rear shock replacement alone typically does not require a full alignment, but it is good practice to have your suspension inspected after any suspension component change.
What is unique about Fabtech's Crawler link arm design?Fabtech's Crawler system uses a full-width front crossmember and reinforced rear frame mounts to maintain correct link arm geometry, along with 2 inch OD thick-wall lower link arms and 5-ton joints rated for long-term durability.
Installation Instructions
- Raise and safely support the rear of the vehicle to access the rear suspension.
- Remove the factory or existing rear shock from its upper and lower mounting points.
- Install the Fabtech Dirt Logic 2.25 rear shock into the same mounting points, torquing hardware to Fabtech's specified values.
- Repeat for the opposite side if replacing both rear shocks.
- Lower the vehicle and inspect suspension travel and shock clearance through a full range of motion before returning to normal driving.
