Once a Jeep JK moves beyond the limits of the factory suspension, the front shock and spring buckets quickly become the next obstacle. Builders installing coilovers need additional height, proper shock placement, and a mounting structure capable of supporting increased suspension travel. The factory buckets were never designed around long travel suspension packaging, which is why they often become the limiting factor during a coilover conversion.
The Motobilt Front Coilover Shock Towers replace the factory front shock and spring buckets with a structure designed specifically for coilover suspension systems. By removing the factory buckets and positioning the coilover correctly above the axle, these towers create the space needed for increased suspension travel without forcing components into compromised locations.
When used with a lower shock tab mounted on top of the axle, these towers are designed around a 12-inch coilover configuration. When paired with Motobilt MB2198, they support a 14-inch coilover setup for builders looking to maximize suspension travel. The design maintains compatibility with common JK upgrades, including the PSC Big Bore steering box and PSC steering pump pulley, while avoiding the need to relocate engine bay components.
These towers also work with ORI struts featuring a 1.5-inch mounting width. Only minor trimming of the plastic ribs on the factory trays is required during installation.
Designed and manufactured in Ozark, Alabama, these towers were developed by builders who understand the packaging constraints, axle requirements, and suspension geometry involved in serious Jeep JK coilover conversions. For builders creating a long travel Jeep JK suspension system, proper shock placement starts here.
