I've been trying to find a video on how to do this and It took me watching 7 terribly explained videos before finding this one and finally being able to understand why mine kept rebounding or locking. Thanks!

[@lowrider181]

Thank you for this. Mine kept hydrolocking and everyone had different opinions of how to build the shocks with oil but this one works perfect

[@iftibashir]

Glad it helped!

[@legendkoen]

Just purchased my first trx 4. This channel is helping alot! You sir, got a subscriber! Keep it up

[@iftibashir]

Thank you!

[@pacificxnative8818]

Your presentation is superb sir. Clear and descriptive

[@stephenpendegraph7209]

Great video man. I been trying to build emultion shocks all wrong.

[@verynick]

Thumbs up bro! I’m assuming it is the same setup up ad the 2021 Bronco

[@jeffparryncc1701]

I use d10wt shock oil. Works great.

[@mrmatthew9754]

Excellent video well explained 👏 👍

[@iftibashir]

Thank you! 👍

[@B.D.TRX4]

amazing video !!

[@iftibashir]

Thank you!!

[@julianjuarez3955]

What if it’s dirty oil how do I rinse the dark oil from inside the shock with water?

[@iftibashir]

I just use a paper towel to clean out as much as I can.

[@andrewho1578]

Great video thank you

[@Frapop]

is the oil in the springs in the basic version?

[@iftibashir]

Yes the shocks will come oil filled

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Love your upgrades series. Maybe a 4tec 2.0 VXL next?

[@ianm.6968]

Sir I bought trx 4 sport and the suspension is slight delayed to back in normal. So I decided to buy those silicone shock fluid. I hope it fix will the way it should be. Thanks for this kind of video ls I hope it will help on my problem.

[@ianm.6968]

I will try to do that. Thank you brother.

[@ianm.6968]

It actually working great now. I had my first trail run the other day and the suspension works very well. I had no issues anymore. And I would like to share that my 5000 mah battery last 2 miles of trail with 3 hours of playing time. Including playing on water, mud and sand. I was very impressed.

[@macp349]

@Robert Hall I think I may have that issue too! I was considering emptying fluid and refilling. But I will try this instead, now. Thanks for that tip

[@madrc9781]

Well im trying get my new shocks open but cant bc it so hard and then its starting rolling

[@helixworld]

Do you know what they mean by 0.45 and 0.54 rates. Is it same as 1:1 cars coilovers in lb / in?

[@joevasquez1776]

Trail runners should put harder shock in front

[@sprather84]

Thanks for the great vid

[@iftibashir]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@notrcmaskedmaster4374]

Nice video. I love the trx4’s. How was your back afterwards? Did the chair help? I’m Looking forward to your next video. 👍🏻

[@Tok_Karo]

Good info..tq

[@G00DDAVE]

👍🎥👍🥇

[@idontcaresapo8233]

I have a trx4 new bronco and today I realized I can increase the riding height compressing the springs... How much is ok? I like how it looks now and I'm not hitting the bumper on everything

[@owenhaines1993]

Don’t put the whole way down because it will be too stiff, put it in the middle
