DIY Coilover setup on my Triangulated four link build, Jeep Wrangler TJ

In this video I finally follow up on my How to build a 4 link suspension, DIY triangulated four link build, Jeep Wrangler TJ video I put out back in February of 2020. We go back to some of the footage I have from setting up the Barnes4wd coil tower, and then I go over all the parts I used in order to complete this build.

I’m not much of a jeep guy but I completely respect anyone who says “how much do they want for that??” No thanks I’ll build it myself. The Rig looks and wheels great! thanks for taking the time to take everyone along for the journey..

[@bsideadventures2180]

Thank you for your service sir. Thank you for the hard work on the videos

[@VictorVectorJKU]

Great overview of the coil over suspension Kelly!

[@haydenallen888]

Well this was incredibly convenient

[@ryanhubble9157]

Thanks for the update im now thinkn 12s for mine so i dont have to cut into tub and get tall mounts since i already have the short ones

[@mr.dozer.7471]

I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm impressed at your workmanship and the in-depth videos. The only downside is every time I see your video it cost me money lol

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Haha, thanks 👊🏻

[@user-tk4fc5jw1t]

THANKS you!

[@SevenSlotSociety]

Awesome video! I’m definitely doing this on my next Jeep!

Love it, thanks for the shout out!

Lots of great info, very well thought out, I appreciate the time and effort you put into your channel. Keep it up, Cheers!

Thanks 👍🏻

[@jessedavis4699]

Great information. Thanks!

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

I love the stretched TJ look! I'm glad you stretched ours, can you tell the difference in the longer wheelbase? Keep building Kelly!!

[@shawnvergilia1609]

Awesome video. As an xj guy I'd love to see a video like this on an xj. Know anybody doing something like that? Patiently waiting for Robbie.

[@smileycamel5635]

Great job!

[@islandoff-roadadventures]

Great vid once again been following your build and adventures for a while my Jeep build is very similar to yours just wondering what size springs and shocks you were running front and rear prior to the coilovers and did going to coilovers make a big difference in how your Jeep performed?

[@BSG4x4]

Excellent video as always. Really appreciate what you're doing at muddy beards4x4. These videos will help a ton

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks👊🏻

[@ricardovivas473]

Saludo hermano hasta que por fin logré ver las medidas de los sprines y como lo combinaste, me ayudó de mucho...

[@graciegough57]

Nice! 💎

[@user-tk4fc5jw1t]

Thx you so much! 🙌🏻

[@crawligan_772]

This helped out a lot I ordered a set of bilstein 2.0 14in travel shocks in may which I still haven’t gotten a tracking number for lol

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Yea, it’s rough out there trying to get parts

[@immelting9834]

I subbed because we both have the same hairstyle , Beard and I also wear glasses. The videos are cool.too

[@slowfox89]

Between people like you and my wife and kids I'll be sure to die happy and without lots of money. Haha Keep up the good work

[@hollywood20501]

How did it handle on road before you did your roll center changes ? And how does it do on and off road after the changes?

[@tylerrandall6524]

I’m gettin ready to get the same shocks from accutune how well did they preform with there tuning an how did you figure out your sprung and unsprung weight and what is the angle for your rear coilovers?

[@travislyssy3959]

How do you know how high your Jeep will sit after you take it off the jack stands? Like how do you know how high or low to mount the tower? And how did you pick what size tower?

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Damn that’s pretty much the setup I want. Problem is I don’t weld, very handy but welding is just one thing I’ve never done

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Get a welder and start doing it, thats how I learned.

[@davethrasher4124]

Would you be able to recommend a similar setup for a JK 2 door? I'm looking to try and use a GenRight fuel tank and go to coilovers without having to absolutely cut into my tub and lose my backseat

[@erikschutzman2402]

Haha, I was worried about the coilover being so close to the shock tower.

[@robbanks7393]

What are your thoughts on ORIs?

[@iamcoachjuan]

Thank you for this I've been trying to figure out how where to even start to get some shocks like this on my jeep. Can you say that you prefer theses over the fox shocks now that you have them on?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I have never had fox shocks so I can’t really compare them. But I would definitely run them if they were available when I bought these.

[@adlanamilajad]

👍

[@donnietorrey1703]

I see you had the degree wheel on the shock tower. Is there a “standard” back setting when frenching the towers in?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

There isn’t really a standard, but my shock is 15 degrees back. The more angle on the shock the less efficient it becomes as a shock. I would try and get it as close to straight up and down as possible, With the room you have.

[@karimbehlok9730]

Great video! I have the same setup. How much lift do you think you ended up with these 14" coilovers installed?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks, not sure, but I have 4.5” metal cloak dual rate coils in the front so somewhere around that.

[@anubis8680]

If you mounted the bracket for the Coilover further down on the axle, do you think you could have avoided chopping into the Tub? I got 14”s myself and am looking to minimize lots of nipping and tucking on the body.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

If you went with maybe 12” coilovers and not 14” you might be able to not cut the tub. But it depends on the amount of travel you want.

[@GMGUY1000]

Anyone do a 5.3 th400-241c in tj with 9 inch rear?

[@jhinton088]

I don't know if you'll see this but I'm considering going coilovers in the rear. I just wanted to ask if I should outboard shocks or just go straight to coilovers. I'm considering both options I already have 4 Inch lift springs to go along with a rear 4 link for the rear.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Depends on your budget, if you can do it once with coilovers that’s what I would do. But if you can afford coilovers right now, out-boarding the shocks is definitely worth it.

[@NickyRoads]

[@junepetr3481]

Could you tell me what welder that you are using for most of your work? I would like to be able to weld trusses and brackets to frame and axles. General fab work on my LJ is what I am trying to do. Any info or advice would be appreciated.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Harbor freight titanium 200, been using it for years. Great welders

9” out of a 1980 f150

[@TheTreadLife_]

Do y'all answer emails?

[@joshuah5640]

If you had to do it again, would you do 14s again? Would you change spring rates?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I would keep it exactly how it is now, spring rates are good. I probably wouldn’t go any smaller than 14’s.

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Can you talk about the process of working with Accutune in a future video? I am interested to know what information you gave them, what questions they asked and how you think the Jeep rides now.
