Thanks for the positive feedback about Ride Shocks!

I think because Accutune's business model for almost a decade is customizing and improving the tuning each brand to work well per application, you don't want to throw that out the window, notice accutune is really comparing their shock to the tuned version of orange or blue. If it was an out of the box comparison with standard tuning the results would vary. And to your point 2.0s don't have much value, ride tuning is all over the board per application, but the bushings and shaft quality are my main complaints.

who? ;)

@@accutuneoffroad Sway away race shocks. I have them on my f150.

@@1FiftyOverland I was mostly kidding. Not sure why no one talks about them.

They've been on life support since AFE bought them; scorned every dealer they ever had.

Cause they suckkkk

Great question. So up until now, shock manufacturers have been offering a "one size fits all" shock for specific vehicles. A Jeep shock for example is designed to bolt in and function for that model in its stock form. Its typically a "good enough" tune. A "tune" is comprised of a piston and unique set of valving (shims). When you start adding weight to the vehicle or changing to lifted springs, the tune/valving inside the shocks may not be ideal for that new weight. Custom Tuning is a combination of addressing spring rate and internal valving to fit a specific vehicle. Custom tuning a shock will help performance and ride quality in a big way. This concept has really been taken from the off-road racing world and brought to general consumer. Not all shocks are tunable though. We will custom tune Fox, King, Ride shocks with remote reservoirs. If you purchase shocks directly from us, we will custom tune them for free with purchase. If the ride quality with your Jeep is not that great, we can certainly help out. Feel free to send out sales team an email and we can look into options for you. [email protected]

Universal fit coilovers, smooth body shocks and bypasses are definitely on the list, just not sure when.

Elka vs Dirt King breakdown and differences would be interesting. because I feel like dirt king claims proprietary features but are always vague and cryptic about it in ads. Then again I think dirt king would provide more client support being a niche line of business.

Thank you!!

Our Tacoma front coilovers are considered extended travel, if you check out the article on our site, we show the shock lengths. As for the 12" rear smooth body shock, that is definitely something we have on our list! Thanks

@@accutuneoffroad I will wait then!!Thanks

Is the RC 1.5" a spacer lift like we show in this video? If so, we don't recommend them if you are wanting a lift with improved ride. More details about spacer lifts discusses here: accutuneoffroad.com/articles/spacer-lift-vs-preload-spacer-vs-coilover-preload/

Depending on budget and application, they can be overkill and not needed. Bypasses like you see in this video are designed for custom builds with custom shock mounts and suspension. Really depends on the vehicle and goals. We don't want to sell you expensive shocks if you don't need them.

Awesome! Getting out and exploring is a ton of fun, happy to hear you are getting back into it. We actually have a full breakdown video of our Tacoma, the only difference from this video to now, is we have Ride Shocks on it. Take a look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Cll6VqqKaLhcksi=BCPzihByzaJ2Ag-n

I would agree you don't need a u-bolt flip kit to gain massive ground clearance, but that is just a bonus feature you get with our complete kit. I think the most important benefit to our kit is the different height spacer options. This is important so you don't bottom out the shock prematurely. Softer than stock bump stop is the second best feature.

Awesome feedback, thank you for sharing! You're right about the Coil Savers. Those a very cheap way to keep your coilovers in great shape, especially during harsh winter months. Enjoy those new shocks!!

Thanks for the additional scoop!

I would recommend they get removed. The UCA is designed to not use those washers, so thread engagement on the bolt may be limited and you may not be able to get accurate torque specs.

Same construction, but most of Fox OEM fit shocks use a -8 hose (1/2") and Ride Shocks uses -10 (5/8"). Ride Shocks doesn't have anything specific for LT kits yet.

Awesome! Glad we could help

Blue King Shock hose is 3/8" (-6 hose) Black Ride Shocks 5/8" (-10 hose)

Yes that is correct. Both Fox and King come standard with shaft bumpers.

I would start by contacting BDS since they make the kit and have specific shocks from Fox.

We only have one location in San Diego CA.

Hell yea!

Good question. It really depends on your goals now and how long until you plan to upgrade. If there are no immediate plans, we would suggest upgrading the suspension for its most common weight. Depending on the added weight later on, you may need to swap springs and get the shocks revalved for the new weight. If you were to buy suspension now for the heavy weight you do not have yet, the truck will ride very stiff and wont be comfortable.

Adventure Tune will be the standard of how they come. This is by far the most common tune so we made it the standard, unless there is a situation where the vehicle and owner want something more aggressive. The DPA adjusters really help stiffen up the shocks for more aggressive off-roading, so we don't recommend the Dual Sport Tune very often. Dual Sport Tune will handle much more aggressive off-roading, but you will give up some daily driver comfort by doing so.

@@accutuneoffroad sounds great thank you for the response!

Its on the list of shocks to get handled, but I think we have a few more OEM applications to knock out first. Certainly is on the list though so keep an eye out.

Nothing for Ride Shocks, but we do have some options with Fox or King: accutuneoffroad.com/product-category/vehicle-specific-products/chevrolet/chevrolet-colorado-2016-2015/

Thank you!

Or know when you will have some out for a 24

@@ronaldsuitt70 Thanks, we actually have a 2024 Tacoma that we have already been using for R&D. We are hoping to have 2024 Tacoma shocks available late this year! If you don't want to miss out on when those become available, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter: accutuneoffroad.com/newsletter/

Not necessarily. This is likely due to the rear of the Jeep now being over sprung for the new weight without tire. I would suggest keeping the 40" spare on vs swapping shocks.

Definitely. Part of the tuning process can be as simple as changing compression and rebound shims or sometimes it requires larger bleed holes in the piston.

Stock rear spring. Tires are 315/70R17 Wheels: 17x7.5 | 6x5.5 | 25/5.20"

@@accutuneoffroad awesome. Thanks!

Yet will outlast you and your kids

$3,708 for shocks with custom tuning. Shipping is free within the lower 48

@@accutuneoffroad thank you for the message back

We will be expanding the lineup and that’s a popular truck. It’s on our radar but no ETA yet on development.

I appreciate the reply. I'm Looking forward to seeing what you guys bring out for the f150.

Who's saying our 2.5s can't compete with the HOSS 3.0 shocks? ;) There are a lot more features & benefits with Ride Shocks than there is with a factory shock option. Those benefits include things like: High & Low speed compression adjusters, adjustable ride height, serviceable/rebuildable by any reputable shock service business and weight range specific options with tailored valving and spring rates. Unless you want to keep the Bronco stock, Ride Shocks have way more to offer than HOSS 3.0 shocks. Internal Bypass Shocks are great for off-road performance, and we certainly have the desire to keep expanding our shock options. It will just be a matter of time before we start developing more.

Awesome glad this video could help you out! It's an old one, but a good one.
