2.5" 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL 4WD (4 door) Alpine CT2 Short Arm Suspension Lift Kit by Teraflex

TeraFlex 1522000 Jeep JL Wrangler 2.5-inch Alpine CT2  (Cross Trail) Short Arm Lift Kit is an excellent suspension upgrade for Jeep owners looking for improved off-road performance and added tire clearance for larger-diameter tires. Once installed, it will allow for the fitment of 35-inch to 37-inch tires, depending on the fender used.

This kit features adjustable Alpine Short Control Arms that finely balance front caster and pinion angles and optimize rear pinion angles, anti-squat geometry, and tire position. A front HD forged adjustable track bar and a rear track bar axle bracket keep the axles centered and reduce body roll. Also included are progressive bump stops that prevent tire contact and shock bottoming, ensuring a smooth ride, along with extended sway bar end links to eliminate binding.

Shock Options

At Jack-it we offer the Teraflex lift kits in various shock packages to fit different budgets and needs.

Bilstein 5100: This German-engineered shock is a great option for those looking for great on- and off-road performance without breaking the bank. It is a mono-tube gas shock with a zinc plate finish and 46mm piston.

Falcon SP2 2.1: The 2.1 Falcon shock is an excellent mid-range shock with a large 2.3-inch body and a massive 7/8-inch piston. During installation, they can be set to "Soft" or "Performance" mode to best suit your driving preferences.

Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust: Our most premium option is the Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust shock. These awesome shocks feature a reservoir for added oil capacity and the Fast Adjust knob to alter dampening characteristics based on the current terrain quickly. Like the Falcon 2.1, they use a 2.3-inch body and a 7/8-inch piston.

Short Arm vs Long Arm Kit?

When purchasing a Jeep lift kit, a common option is to choose between a "short arm" and a "long arm" kit. For those new to Jeeping, this refers to the control arms and their length. A short arm kit uses the factory mounting points for the control arms.  The long arm kit uses control arms that are extended in length over factory arms and require the installation of new mounting brackets. This design allows for greater suspension travel and articulation, resulting in improved off-road performance, especially in challenging terrain. The downside to the long arm kits is installation is more difficult, and the cost is usually significantly higher. The Short Arm kits are great for those who do not need the most extreme suspension articulation when off-roading, and installation is much simpler (use the factory mounts).
