2012-2018 Jeep JKU 4 link Suspension Bracket & Skid Kit
Ready to transform your Jeep JK Unlimited to a whole different level of suspension capabilities? Wanting to upgrade to 1 ton axles?
Our MB7000 Jeep JKU 4 Link Suspension Bracket & Skid Kit takes all of the geometry guesswork out of your build. Our kit includes all of the frame mounted bracketry to allow you to build a true double triangulated rear 4 link suspension and either a triangulated 4 link front or 3 link front suspension.
Our kit includes a new heavy duty removable transmission cross member that replaces your factory cross member, a removable heavy duty ¼” thick high grade steel skid plate that follows the contours of the transmission cross member, a new rear frame cross member which also acts as a skid mounting system and is an integral structural member to support the rear 4 link bracketry.
This kit will allow you to have clearance for an aftermarket transfer case, like the Atlas II or Atlas IV. Your passenger mounted factory fuel tank will be omitted & moved to the rear. We have rear mounted aluminum fuel tanks, steel skids & EVAP modification kits available. We also offer a rear frame back half kit that also works well with our proven suspension kit.
The front lower brackets are designed to accept 2-5/8” wide joints. The front lower joint holes measure 5/8” diameter which you can drill to a larger diameter, if you choose.
The front upper brackets are designed to accept 2” wide joints. The front upper joint holes measure 12mm diameter which you can also drill to a larger diameter. Front uppers will be 7/8”-1” shank typically.
All rear brackets are designed to accept 2-5/8” wide joints. All rear joint holes measure 5/8” diameter, and can all be drilled to a larger diameter, if chosen.
Both front and rear brackets are designed around a standard 1 1/4" HEIM joint. Front uppers will be 7/8”-1” shank typically.
All joint pivot bolts are 100% recessed & protected, yet still easily accessible with standard tools for maintenance & future repair or service. We know, it’s a crazy idea, but we actually put a lot of thought into the simple little details, like being able to protect every bolt so future repair of your vehicle is easy, with regular tools!
All front brackets are located using factory frame hole locations for ease of installation. The rear brackets key into the new rear cross member & are scribed to fit perfectly to the inside of the factory frame. All brackets require welding to the factory frame.
All joint plates are ¼” thick high grade steel. The skid plate is manufactured from ¼” steel with CNC press brake bends for added strength & includes a mid-span gusset plate. The skid features six (6) drainage weep holes, as well as, countersunk mounting holes for a completely flush under belly. No hang up points for obstacles!
All mounting points for the skid plate have machined threaded holes in their mating structures. No need for fish plates or nuts to remove the skid plate.
Parts are shipped as fully welded sub-assemblies. Parts are shipped as raw steel.
Weight: 240 lbs (approx.)
