Install notes and evidence

Clayton source wording says: The Factory Race Series 3.0 Internal Bypass shock delivers race-dominating, position-sensitive damping technology and performance in a hassle-free bolt-on kit. Treat this as a suspension-system install. Verify lift height, shock choice, control-arm/track-bar contents, bump stops, driveshaft/exhaust/brake-line needs, alignment/caster, wheel and tire plan, and whether the Jeep is JL, JT, JK, TJ, LJ, XJ, or ZJ before checkout.

Product-specific install PDFs or videos are not captured for this record yet. Treat this as a source gap before quote, checkout, or labor planning.

JL - Front - 3.5-4.5" FACTORY RACE SERIES 3.0 INTERNAL BYPASS RESERVOIR SHOCK (PAIR) - ADJUSTABLE (16.98/27.7)

Vendor fitment: 2018-2026 JL Wrangler. Suspension & lifts with 3.5 inch lift-height data from the vendor source. Confirm final options and fitment on the vendor page before purchase.

The Factory Race Series 3.0 Internal Bypass shock delivers race-dominating, position-sensitive damping technology and performance in a hassle-free bolt-on kit. Patented, position-sensitive internal bypass technology contains regulated ports that allow fluid to bypass the piston as it moves through the initial travel, and then forces fluid through the piston at the extreme ranges of compression and rebound. This allows for a plush, predictable ride over normal off-road driving conditions with the ability to ramp up damping force to counteract harsh bottom-outs or top-outs that could buck you off the trail. These hard-anodized, aluminum-bodied shocks are engineered with precision-machined.

Question

What lift height is this for?

Suspension lift height

This is a 2.5-3 inch lift-height family. Verify the exact engine, drive side, spring-capacity variant, and loaded vehicle weight before quoting because those choices can change final stance.

Fitment and build notes

Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For a lift, the last check is the complete Jeep setup: exact year/model/trim, doors, engine, lift variant, target tire size, wheel width and offset/backspacing, bump stops, flare/fender clearance, gearing, spare support, added bumper/cargo weight, and whether a shop is installing it.
