Choosing Shocks for your Jeep Gladiator JT

BIlstein 5100 shocks for the Jeep Gladiator provides a noticeable improvement to overall handling - especially on a lifted setup with larger wheels and tires. If you're running a lift kit, and bigger wheels and tires, the Bilstein 5100 is the go to shock for more confidence and stability. They aren't the softest shock on the block, but they are one of the longest lasting and most predictable.

The Fox 2.0 Performance shocks are for a go-fast attitude offroad, providing significant handling improvement on & off-road over typical street-shocks for your Gladiator. These shocks excel in aggressive terrain and the dirt, and are a great performance upgrade over factory or Bilstein. The Fox 2.0 aims to round off the rough edges on rough pavement and rutted trails.

Falcon's 2.1 shock for the Jeep Gladiator is a step up in handling compared to most shocks on the market, even the Bilstein 5100s. Where these win-out against other IFP monotube options is the SP2 adjustment that affects internal bypass mechanisms in the shock, producing a 'soft' or 'standard' baseline to damping. For the price, these 2.25in shocks with adjustable base-level valving between soft and standard make these a extremely good choice if adjustability is a factor.

The Fox 2.5 HTO (Hydraulic Top Out) shocks are the big bore upgrade over 2-inch factory level shocks, with the added bonus of reducing harsh feel over big bumps. The larger piston in these shocks provide more overall support, more consistent handling, and the ability to ramp up the speed while offroad by handling rougher terrain while staying composed. The Fox 2.5 HTO is gerat for those that want to push their vehicle a little more, but dont need race-level heat capacity with excessive reservoir cost and complexity.

The reservoir upgrade on the 5160 shock allows a more go-fast attitude offroad with your Jeep Gladiator, providing more travel and heat dissipation, and less operating pressures for off-road longevity. These shocks are for off-road enthusiasts who see a lot of dirt, and need all the capability possible in a compact inexpensive package.

The Bilstein 8100 isn't a typical 2.5 inch reservoir shock for your Jeep Gladiator, the internals hide unique Zone Control damping zones to smooth out small and big bumps alike. This allows these shocks to ride very soft in the normal daily driven ride zone, while damping big hits in the compression and rebound zones to deliver bottomless suspension.

The Fox 2.5 Performance Elite shock brings adjustable ride tuning, extra heat capacity through the reservoirs, and extreme offroad capability in fast environments for your Jeep Gladiator. We wont sugarcoat it - these shocks are for the serious offroad driver who demands a lot from their suspension, these are overkill for a mainly street vehicle. Through the DSC adjusters the driver can dial back the damping for a softer daily drive, while increasing it for heavier loads, weekend adventures, or more control in the dirt.
