When it comes to your vehicle’s body mounts, it’s hard to find a good middle ground. Original rubber mounts can crack, distort, and crush until they literally fall off. Aluminum mounts can be too harsh for street use and can break/cause other components to break as well. Energy Suspension solved this issue with its Hyper-Flex™ polyurethane cab and body mounts, which are soft enough for a smooth ride yet rugged enough for demanding roads, trails, and tracks. These body mounts help to maintain your vehicle’s body alignment.

The 2.4114R Energy Suspension set fits 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler JL.

Features

  • For 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • Hyper-Flex™ polyurethane is soft, flexible, and rugged
  • Replaces distorted and worn-out original mounts
  • Helps maintain car body and truck cab-to-bed alignment
