This is How I Made My Jeep 392 Drive 10X BETTER

[@CarPassionChannel]

I always want to feel like I’m driving in heavy winds, please advise. This is a great video, massively informative and rich with real life applications for the Jeep. Can’t wait to see more!

[@StudioMotors]

LMAO Yes yes always breaking wind

[@adisrael.4537]

you already pay a arm and leg for the jeep itself, now they want the other arm and leg, wtf man,,,,

[@TJWinter1221]

What used to be a vehicle for the middle class is now the rich man's! It's absolutely insane! This ISN'T a luxury vehicle. It's not a Lexus or Mercedes Benz but an effing JEEP! TOTAL GREED on the part of the manufacturer AND the dealerships!

[@MrMikek71]

can you give me the exact lift you got on yours. i have a 22 392 37 inch tires no winch stock bumpers with a full size spare. don't mind the rake and hardly ever go off road. i would like to add about 1 to 2 inches so a 3.5 lift should be good. sounds like you like your setup and would like to get the exact setup. i see many options on there web site. what model lift and mid or long arm. i drive almost all highway and want the best handling lift i can get for that purpose.

[@aermotors]

I stopped watching after a minute and 20 seconds when you made it sound like rock crawler were the first people to ever put a hemi in a JL

[@canyonrunner]

How to drive in heavy winds: Any vehicle will work but a Jeep on the trail is especially suitable. Buy a big bag of pork rinds (Chicharrón) at a local 7-Eleven. Load up on their counter nacho cheese topping; be sure to grab some jalapenos and onions as a topping. Make sure you grab some premium Guinness Stout to go along with your feast. And for "Le Dessert" I recommend popcorn and a couple of Slim-Jims with a chocolate milk aperitif.

[@StudioMotors]

Haha what

[@theprada2126]

Yes Jeep Fan boy here and that is exactly my kind of pit stop 👍

[@Hol-mes]

sadly...10x better handling in a jeep is still on school bus level

[@scottleggejr]

I have one and the first thing I did was debadge it and putting a fixed quiet muffler on it. It's way better than the 4.0 or 3.6 but embarrassing how obnoxious it is. The 392 rides way better than the other jeeps.

[@FarmerTom-bz6tn]

Hey does the red Rubicon 392 have heavier axles installed to accommodate the larger rims and tires? I want bigger than 37" tires so am willing to spend the coin to upgrade to beefier axles.

[@FarmerTom-bz6tn]

Did you upgrade axles on the Red Rubicon to use larger tires and rims? I'm asking because am planning on upgrading and modifying a 392 Rubicon. Also, what size tires/rims and brand names?

[@justinpowell392]

Great video! I absolutely agree that RK makes a great suspension system! I went with the 3.5 XFactor and love it. I decided to try their shocks and was a bit disappointed in the RRD shocks. Ran great on the street but I took them on a honestly a hard off road trip and they were never the same. Came home and they were SUPER SOFT hitting the bump stops constantly. Went back to Fox and couldn’t be happier! Their suspensions are top notch but their shocks didn’t work for me. Looking forward to seeing if your experience is better

[@StudioMotors]

Great feedback, thank you! I have not had a chance to off road the new suspension and stretch it out yet, but I'll keep you posted how it goes with the shocks. How long ago did you run the RRD shocks?

[@timcallahan1055]

Great video man! My 23' Firecracker Red Rubicon 392 XR finally showed up a few weeks ago! Can't wait to start playing with this thing.

[@StudioMotors]

Thanks Tim! Not trying to be biased, but I really think Firecracker is the color to have, especially for a 392. The red goes great with the bronze accents and the bigger tires, fender trim, etc add a lot of contrast as well. I always wanted a yellow Jeep so I ordered a High Velocity 392 as soon as it was announced. It showed up as a 2023 a month or so ago. When I put it next to firecracker, I couldnt let go of the red, its just too perfect for the 392.

[@morningdrums]

Still, terrible gas mileage. Making it look bad ass doesn't bring the price down for the average person

This Jeep looks incredible. What wheels are those? Any reason for the spare tire delete?

[@princeminasi2802]

[@csabahorvath8750]

So... please somebody enlighten me, why is it so important to use this lift kit on an Xtreme Recon edition, if you change the majority of the stuff. Why not apply this kit on a "normal" 392 and win the money (of course investing into the kit).

[@StudioMotors]

Xtreme Recon is not any higher than a normal 392. Using this kit on either one yields the same results. Xtreme Recon just uses a different in house made shock compared to the non-XR which uses a custom Fox setup.

[@OneCsabaH]

Thank you very much! :)

[@kavehghodstinat9500]

Nice! If I can get your honest opinion, the on-road drive quality with this lift, got softer or more firm comparing with XR package?

[@StudioMotors]

I wouldn't say "softer" but it is smoother, yet tighter and more composed. For example, when you are driving straight in the 392, its smoother than the stock suspension. When you go to take a corner or make a turn, it dosnt have the tilting or swaying a softer setup would have. It takes corners like a champ, the handling is 100% better. So its smoother, but its tighter when you need it. I think that's what really got me on this setup is that it didnt compromise smoothness and a plush ride to handle better, especially now that its higher. Overall, everything seems so much tighter and better balanced than stock which is saying a lot because it's on 37 inch tires and 2.5 inches higher.

[@kavehghodstinat9500]

@@StudioMotors does your shop setup this lift kit?

[@StudioMotors]

We don't do installations in house, we're a speciality vehicle dealership/brokerage. If you are in LA, I can refer you to a solid shop in Burbank or Sherman Oaks.

How many inch lift kit is that? Are you running wheel spacers on those stock wheels? Nice jeep👍

[@StudioMotors]

Hey Jon! It’s a 2.5” lift on top the 392 Xtreme Recons 1” lift. These are my go to spacers for Jeeps: amzn.to/3HQzNAm

[@exoplanetnomad]

Really cool Jeep, nice presentation!

[@upgradepicturesla]

This is DOPE!

[@ilmjcxj8064]

How many inches does this lift give you over stock 392 ?

[@StudioMotors]

A true 2.5 inches over the 392s stock setup. The 392 is an inch taller than a standard Rubicon, so this is like lifting a Rubicon by 3.5”

[@davidparker5345]

IF and it seems to be a BIG IF I can find a 392 without special ordering I will buy one. SO this was of intereest. HOWEVER ,,, did you exaggerate some? Maybe only 9.5 better not a full 10 times?

[@RKmndo]

Triangulate the upper suspension linkage, to eliminate the trouble-prone trackbars. Try some in-coil supplemental airbags if you're towing/hauling heavy. They can avoid sag/squat without hampering ride or articulation.

[@warmeds2009]

Im a little late to the game but I just picked up my 392 Wrangler and the Hype is real - How is the lift kit holding up after a year - any strange noises etc? Is the stance still balanced.. Great videos

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

Your jeep looks awesome👍 and the shop you have with the jeep sitting there seems to make it perfect, I get my 392 in less than a week it should be here and I’m definitely going with Rockrawler, I’ve use them for my last four jeeps and I do feel their product is one of the best on the market, the triple rate springs work awesome, I like that you kept the stock wheels, those look great & out of all the vehicles on your floor I like the jeep the best kudos to you👍

[@StudioMotors]

Thank you Jon! I think the firecracker red makes the Jeep pop like crazy in the shop. I'll have supercars in the shop and some people walk in and go straight to the Jeep lol. Appreciate the feedback and wish you a Happy New Year my friend 🎉🎉🎉

I think the two best colors on the jeep are red and white you have a red one and I have a white one mine just showed up last night was delivered off the truck, even stock the 392 looks awesome, thanks for your message buddy and happy holidays/happy New Year’s to you. You have the coolest looking shop. 👍

[@Brian.8272]

looks great, do the bigger tires humm?

[@StudioMotors]

Thank you! Yes, they do hum but not because they are bigger, but because its a mud terrain tire. Way less contact patch so you get some noise at higher speeds. With that said, I only hear it when the performance exhaust is off which isn't very common haha

I can't believe that is only a 2.5" lift! Night and day better!

[@allautorepair406]

I agree with the other subscrihers another well done video. However, I must ask you if youre doing this upgrade doesnt it defeat the purpose of adding the XR package? Im confused I already bought the bar...lol if I keep going at this rate I'll never be finished and Ill be thinking I wish I had done Americas Most Wanted. I think thats the company that does the hellcat jeeps :). Just want your thoughts your videos deserve respect but we need one to save money within the confines of the package we have...what do you think?

[@StudioMotors]

Man I love the feedback! the XR package is IDEAL for a Jeep you can buy that's modified just right from the factory and you don't have to touch anything. But personally, I knew the lift and wheel size was not going to be enough from the get go and that I would lift it even more and run a bigger tire. The only regret I have right now is going with 37 inch tires instead of 38s. 37s were a perfect fit for the JK but to me, it seems like they don't fill the JL as well as a 38 inch does. If you don't need the higher clearance or bigger tire, the XR is perfect the way it is, keep it like that. It can do SO MUCH the way it is. Nothing better than the 392 installed from the factory, so please don't regret what an awesome Jeep you have. I'm digging through a lot of different products, accessories, and upgrades. As I come across must have stuff I'll review them and keep you posted. Thank you for always watching!!

[@nickwinn]

The XRs have better brakes, 4.56 gearing, 1.5 inch lift, bigger tires, a tire mount relocation, and tail gate reinforcement.

[@Rjparr69]

The brakes on a 392 XR vs non-XR are exactly the same. The tire carrier is a reinforced hinge, NOT relocated.

[@StudioMotors]

Ran a set of Falcon 3.3s on a JK, does not have anywhere near the same amount of travel and can't hold a candle to the RRD Fluted Aluminum shocks. I will tell you tho, the revised reservoir setup on the Falcons had me sold. I thought these were going to be the best riding shocks I ever felt because of the reservoir being built into the shock instead of being an external unit. I'm not here to bash on Teraflex but come on buddy, I've been there, done that, ain't doing it again.

[@williamh6547]

@@StudioMotors to each their own I guess, I mean how much FLEX do us normal people need?? I mean not being blown all over in crosswinds, taking corners without body roll, and great shocks all around, you cannot beat the 3.3, plus they ARE NOT built for long travel, ANY shock that is is NOT going to have the cornering ability nor crosswind stability, there is to much travel, there are things you've gained with long travel shocks if you do rock crawling etc, but for 98%of people that will never be the case, that's like telling someone with a Dana 44 they cannot run 40" tires to buy Dana 60s, that's just straight out lies and marketing hype. I've got a 21 382 Rubicon now, and in about 2 weeks my 23 392 Extreme Recon will be delivered, and everything that I mentioned before will be going on that jeep.
