Superlift's Black Diamond division has two lift systems and a variety of related accessories for new Jeep JK Wranglers, including 2-door, 4-door and Rubicon models. The Black Diamond 2" system uses thicker-than-stock coil-spring isolators as an easy way to fit 33x12.50 tires. The kit also includes bumpstop spacers; optional Black Diamond AT shocks improve control and allow 2 extra inches of extension travel.

The Black Diamond 3" kit uses pre-set coil springs to clear up to 35x12.50 tires. A heavier rear spring is offered for 4-door Wranglers, and it can be used for 2-door JKs that often carry loads. To control roll and yaw, a front adjustable track bar is included; the standard Black Diamond kit uses a rear track-bar relocation bracket since steering geometry isn't an issue.

Ride and handling are addressed with new Black Diamond alignment cams to correct caster and extended urethane bumpstops. The kit also includes factory-style (greasable) extended swaybar links and relocating brackets for the brake hoses and emergency-brake cables. Black Diamond AT shocks with black boots are standard. Other boot colors are available, as are monotube Superlift SS and SSR (remote-reservoir) shocks.

Several options allow JK owners to get even more from their Jeeps. Front and rear Rockrunner swiveling link arms -- made from .188" wall-thickness DOM tubing -- increase suspension articulation. This design offers several advantages over arms that have Heim ends: longer service life, greasable urethane bushings at the axle ends, quiet operation, greater vibration damping and adjustable length for dialing in alignment.

Swaybar Quick-Disconnects are another performance upgrade. These threaded-type disconnects use no-tools-required pull pins and feature greasable upper ends. An optional steering stabilizer kit includes a black boot, and extended-length Bulletproof brake hoses have braided-steel jackets and Kevlar-reinforced linings for optimal durability and pedal feel. Other available accessories include an adjustable rear track bar for up to 4" of lift and eXtreme Rings zinc-plated diff cover protectors.All components are backed by Superlift's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
