Three new bolt-ons land for the JL platform: Fox shocks, BFGoodrich KO3 tires, Method 305 wheels
A matched round of suspension, rubber and wheels now lists for JL-platform rigs built 2018 through 2026 — here is what each one is and what it does not tell you.
What verifiers say

If you run a JL-platform rig from model years 2018 through 2026, three new parts have hit the New products shelf that are listed for your machine across that full year span. None of them fits an earlier platform, so if your rig predates 2018, stop here — these are not for you.
First, the Fox 2.0 Performance Series IFP Shocks. This is a monotube internal-floating-piston damper set listed as suspension for JL years 2018–2026. The IFP design separates the oil from the gas charge, which is the part that keeps damping consistent as the shock heats up on a long, rough section. It is a shock swap, not a lift — it changes how the rig handles what it already has, rather than lifting it.
Second, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3. This is the all-terrain tire listed for JL years 2018–2026. It sits in the all-terrain class, meaning it is built to run pavement to the trailhead and then handle dirt, rock and loose surface without the on-road penalty of a dedicated mud tire. It is listed for the JL only; do not read that as fitment for any other machine on this page.
Third, the Method Race Wheels 305 NV Wheel, listed for JL years 2018–2026. It is the wheel to pair with the KO3 if you are rebuilding the corner as a set. The three parts share the same platform and the same year range, so a JL owner can treat them as a package.
Here is the part no product listing can answer for you. We are not going to print a tire pressure for the KO3, a torque figure for mounting the 305 wheel or seating its lug nuts, or a damping or ride-height number for the Fox shocks. Those values are specific to your exact rig, its load, and the component, and they live in your service manual and the manufacturer's fitment and installation sheet. Guessing one is not a minor error. An under-torqued wheel can back off its studs on the trail; an over-torqued one can stretch or snap them. A tire pressure pulled from memory instead of the door placard and the tire's own rating changes how the rig steers and how the sidewall takes a hit. Read the number, do not invent it.
One more boundary worth stating plainly: a part listed for the 2018–2026 JL is listed for that platform and those years, and nothing else. If your rig is a different model or an earlier year, check the fitment for your own machine before you buy. The year range on the box is the fitment — treat it as the limit, not a suggestion.
Fitment in this piece was checked against 6 catalog entries at the time of writing. Confirm with the supplier before buying or installing.
Nothing here replaces your service manual. Torque values, capacities and pressures must come from the manufacturer's published data for your exact machine.
