Just bought this 2018 jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. Has a bunch of mods on it. What is this red thing that has a shock on it? Noob question I know. Is this a aftermarket thing?

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm sure I'm going to have plenty of questions.

Drive nice. I was told it was a 3" lift by the dealer.

Going back to the dealer today for some paperwork going to see if they will fix this. See where I circled, there is a bolt missing that holds the one side of the coils up. I can't see where it's supposed to bolt to. It's just free balling with no support on that side.

That diagram will help you figure out how much lift it actually has.
But for reference, a typical 2.5" lift will have around 3" or so lift up front. A 3" lift would have around 3.5" of lift, and a 3.5" lift would give you around 4" of lift up front. So, if it does have 3" of lift up front it is likely a 2.5" lift.

Welcome. JW Speaker headlight upgrade also. Nice upgrade from stock. Those look like they might be the power wires for the winch.

That is an aftermarket steering setup though. Looks like aluminum tie rod and drag link.
Plus thats a trussed front axle. So far it looks like someone knew what they were doing with that jeep.

Those are the power wires for the winch. But beside those wires is hole meant for a bolt. It's missing. Nothing holding that side of the cooling coils, or whatever you call those things.
"What is the red thing?"
We kids were asking our parents exactly that when we got our first male dog.

I don't think JW has a full halo like that. I haven't seen one anyway. Maybe DV8?

I suspect you are right. Didnt notice the halo.
