PUBLICATION Reviews We couldn't be more pleased with the aftermath. Two big thumbs up for ACOS Pros by JKS... harsh bottoming-out events are now a thing of the past, thanks to the sweet hydraulic bumpstops. Robin Stover "Project Teal-Brute: How's It Work?" Four Wheeler Magazine, February 2008 We can appreciate the luxury of making easy ride height adjustments at all four corners of our JK. As delivered from Chrysler, this particular JK sat low on the passenger side when the fuel tank was full and it is also fair to assume that our coil springs will eventually settle in one area more than another. These real world conditions are where the ACOS Pro really shines. Adjustments up to 2-1/4 inches can be made without removing suspension parts from the vehicle. A floor jack and socket wrench are all it takes to regain an even ride height. John White "ACOS Pro by JKS: The 'All in One' Lift for Your JK" 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine, February 2009 As the original pioneer of sway-bar quick disconnects for Jeeps, it's no surprise that the supplied JKS Quicker Disconnects are so well designed. Each end uses a spherical urethane bushing to prevent suspension bind while cornering. This little detail improves on-road feel while also making the disconnect/reconnect process much easier for the end user. Robin Stover "Ready to Rock" 4 Wheeler Magazine, May 2008 I needed a well-mannered suspension so I called JKS Manufacturing. have been reviewing the JKS suspension components for a while now and I really like how the control arms are fit with rubber bushings rather than Delrin or polyurethane, and the rubber bushings dramatically help reduce the transfer of road noise into the vehicle. The bushings don't squeak or require any maintenance, and they help absorb torsional force while four-wheeling. The control arms and rubber bushings also offer a smoother, softer, and quieter ride. Kevin McNulty "A Grand Conversion" 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine, August 2008 To cure our control arm clunk and allow for up to 3 inches of adjustment, we ordered a full set of upper and lower control arms from JKS, as well as two of the company's adjustable bumpstop kits. The adjustable arms are incredibly sturdy, have a rotating design that won't bind when articulating, employ quiet rubber bushings, and allow the pinion angles and front caster to be dialed in without the need for eccentric cam bolts. Christian Hazel "Steal-J: Part V" Jp Magazine, October 2006 Delightfully simple yet strong and functional, the ACOS (Adjustable Coil Spacer) solves a multitude of problems that coil-sprung Jeeps have suffered from...lift to lean and sagged out springs, there is now an answer. Rick Péwé "Adjustable Lifts for Jeeps: Here's a Trick Widget that Works" 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine Online With so many things up in the air, our final ride height was unknown. We went with JKS's Adjustable Trackbar and swaybar disconnects for their brute strength, as well as their ability to accommodate the range of lift we'll see as we add and remove accessories. Pete Trasborg "Yearning for a Lift Kit, Part I" Jp Magazine, November 2005 Slickrock hangers from JKS are the strongest pieces we've seen. They're made from investment-cast chrome-moly and are triangulated on the sides for maximum strength - you'll have to try very, very hard to break these. Cole Quinnell "Slick Hangers: The Fix for Broken Shackle Hangers" Jp Magazine, March 2001 Without the ACOS Pro bump stops, we might be tempted to use stiffer coil springs to avoid bottoming the suspension. But with the bump stops in place, our JK has the ability to soak up the bumps affording a softer, more compliant set of springs. We think the ACOS Pro system is a perfect combo if you are looking for a stock ride and mild lift height. Under full compression, 35-inch tires will clear perfectly on every corner. John White "ACOS Pro by JKS: The 'All in One' Lift for Your JK" 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine, February 2009 These trick adjustable tubular control arms from JKS Manufacturing allow for tons of adjustability. They can extend 2-1/4 inches over stock or be 1 inch shorter than stock, so our plans to move the rear axle back an inch are well within their design parameters. Verne Simons "Fitting 35s to the Rear of Our TJ With No Lift" Jp Magazine, April 2005 For maximum trail articulation, swaybar disconnects were a must. Eliminating the swaybar altogether is something we've tried and can't recommend for a vehicle seeing street time. And the JKS units, much like ARB Air Lockers, provided the best of both worlds. Ben Stewart "Building the Ultimate Cherokee" Four Wheeler Magazine, August 1999 If you want ultimate beef from a traditional design, JKS builds a solid steel plate an inch thick with countersunk holes for the nuts. These plates literally are bulletproof. Jim Allen Jeep 4x4 Performance Handbook, 1998 The JKS replacement upper and lower control arms are works of art and really complement any short arm lift since they not only allow you to dial in the pinion angles but their adjustability allows you to regain the wheelbase normally lost when a lift is added. Christian Hazel "Steal-J: Part V" Jp Magazine, October 2006 CUSTOMER Reviews I just purchased and installed a JKS Adjustable Trackbar on my lifted '99 WJ. I couldn't be happier with the product. I ordered it from 2 Track Minds Offroad and their service was excellent as well. I just wanted to tell someone that I am very pleased with your product and will recommend you to my friends. Garon Rude, Customer, E-mail I am a huge fan of the durability and longevity of your products; I have used them for many years and tell everyone about them and why I love them. I would really enjoy a few decals or stickers that would clearly show that I am the owner and proud customer of the items I have purchased. I am participating in a huge off-road event very soon and would really like to have your logo on display. Ethan Green, Customer, E-mail I just want to let you know that I recommend JKS to people any chance I get. You and your company have been awesome... head and shoulders above any other jeep company I have dealt with. I will be a JKS customer for life. Derek Kunzman, Customer, E-mail I purchased your front and rear ACOS for my Jeep 2005 Rubicon to help clear my four inch suspension with 35" tires. This added a solid 2" of additional lift and fixed the rubbing problem at full flex. You guys and gals at JKS truly make the BEST products in the four wheel drive industry -- seriously! Keep up the great workmanship. The best thing about your products, they're made in the good 'ol USA! George Acfalle, Customer, E-mail I love the Quicker Disconnects on my jeeps. They are so easy to set up. My CJ wasn't level from side to side and the threaded disconnect worked great. When the time comes to reconnect after a trail ride, I am sitting in my jeep ready to hit the road while my buddies are still wrestling with their disconnects. Keith Mayfield, Customer, E-mail Your Quicker Disconnects are an excellent product...the best I have ever used! They beat Teraflex and RE by a mile. Jason Bates, Customer, E-mail Just wanted to thank you for your line of Jeep products. We installed your bar pin eliminators on one of our club member's Jeeps due to a broken upper shock mount pin, and haven't had trouble since. We'll be ordering another set this week due to another member splitting his factory bar pin and tearing up his bushing on our last trip. We also reviewed and linked your product on our site. Michael, Customer, E-mail Hey great job...you guys are the best company I have ever dealt with. You are always one step in front of the others. Keep up the great work! Domenic's Auto & Jeep, Customer, E-mail I am currently running your Quicker Disconnects on my 2000 Jeep TJ and I could not be happier with the ease and performance of your product. Installation was a snap and the increase in front axle travel on the trail was amazing…the amount of flex coupled with my OME suspension has allowed my Jeep to perform trails that I thought were impassible. Chad Johnson, Customer, E-mail I just installed the Quicker Disconnects on my ZJ. Very nice set-up...I'm impressed with the design, machining and fabrication that went into them. Can't wait to disconnect this weekend!! Kelly Schulz, Customer, E-mail You guys not only have outstanding products, but awesome customer service as well. I haven't dealt with many companies that I can truly say that about. I can assure you that I won't hesitate to buy JKS stuff again or recommend you to others in the future. Mike Bertrand, Customer, E-mail I have been, and continue to be very impressed with the quality and design of JKS products, and have been very happy with their performance on my rig. Michael Mundinger, Customer, E-mail I really appreciate the great service and awesome products...that's why I am a huge JKS customer. I have almost all of your products made for XJ's...I think JKS Control Arms are the best available. Randy Langstraat, Customer, E-mail I bought JKS Quicker Disconnects for my 2001 WJ and am very happy with them. I look forward to doing business with you again. Dave Lundbels, Customer, E-mail It's a rare pleasure these days to have a company respond so quickly and totally stand by their product...thanks again from a very satisfied customer! Todd Johnson, Customer, E-mail I am very pleased with my quick disconnects, and really enjoy their performance. They make my off road experience a lot more fun and relaxing! Stew Rowan, Customer, E-mail
