As rear suspension travel increases, the factory Jeep JKU shock mounts and crossmember quickly become the limiting factor. The factory layout was never designed around long-travel coilovers or ORI struts, which often forces builders to compromise shock placement, travel, or packaging.
The Motobilt Rear Coilover Mount System replaces the factory rear shock mounting structure with a system designed around proper shock positioning and suspension travel. At the center of the system is a heavy-duty 1/4-inch steel crossmember that replaces the factory unit and ties directly into fabricated shock towers. This creates a stronger mounting structure while providing the space needed for longer shocks and improved suspension packaging.
Designed for 14-inch and 16-inch coilovers or ORI struts mounted on top of the axle, the system allows the suspension to cycle through its travel without the constraints of the factory rear shock arrangement. The result is improved shock placement, more usable suspension travel, and a cleaner rear chassis layout.
The design works with both the factory fuel tank and the Motobilt rear-mounted fuel cell, making it adaptable to a variety of Jeep JKU suspension builds. Integrated pass-throughs help simplify wiring and fuel routing, keeping the rear chassis organized and serviceable.
Like many Motobilt suspension components, this system was developed by builders who understand the packaging challenges that come with long-travel suspension systems. Whether you're building a trail Jeep, rock crawler, or rear suspension conversion, this system provides the structure required to support a properly designed rear suspension.
