The Rock Krawler JK45AXPLA-2 is a 4.5-inch Adventure-X PRO Long-Arm Suspension System engineered for the 2-Door Jeep Wrangler JK. This complete lift kit delivers an exceptional balance between daily-driver comfort and hardcore off-road capability, giving Wrangler owners a system built to perform on city streets and challenging trails alike.
Adventure-X2 Long-Arm Architecture:
The system pairs a full high-clearance 4-link long-arm front suspension with a high-clearance independent 3-link long-arm rear suspension. Enhanced rear instant centers and rear roll centers produce some of the smoothest ride characteristics available in a long-arm 3-link design. High-clearance axle mounts add 3.5 inches of ground clearance under the rear axle versus stock, while rear upper shock relocation brackets preserve maximum suspension travel.
PRO-Grade, Maintenance-Free Control Arms:
The "PRO" designation means the system is equipped with 4 billet 7075 aluminum CNC-machined, service-free lower control arms in long-arm length — machined from 2" x 3" billet stock for maximum strength. Each arm features Rock Krawler's proprietary Adventure Series joint center, which isolates road vibrations at an OEM-bushing equivalent level while offering high misalignment capability. A steel sleeve passes through the joint and rotates freely on a Teflon-lined inner sleeve, eliminating chafing, twisting, or bushing deformation over time. No greasing required.
