I own a Cannondale Mountain Bike along with my Brother and we ride and we've had every name shock manufacturer that's built for Mountain Bikes Ohlins are hands down the industry best shocks whether it is for a Jeep or Subaru or Motorcycles and Bikes.

Again, that lower adjustment is for rebound and to the best of my knowledge, this is something that is NOT offered on Falcon or Fox and even Kings or at least, not unless you get their triple bypass shocks and they come with their own set of clearance issues. Trust me, I run them on my other rigs. Also, the adjuster needs to be small and out of the way to prevent potential damage from rocks.

Your videos are great. Question for you; I did the 2.5" lift on my JT then added a nice bumper and winch which gave me a more rake then I want. A leveling kit on top of the front springs seems kinda iffy. I'm thinking of buying some 4 inch springs for the front and sticking with the 2.5 for the rear. Any suggestions from your experience? Thanks!
@wayalife11 ай бұрын
From what I have seen, most lift coils provide MORE lift than what is advertised. As in, you might end up with a Jeep that is sitting ass low by doing this. Typically, a front end will sag about 1" after the installation of a heavy bumper and winch and adding 1" coil spacers IS the best solution to fix this. It's what I've done for years on multiple Jeeps and if there's actually something "iffy" about it, that would be news to me.

I have a 2021 Gladiator diesel with a RLD shell and rack and some bolt on rocker bars that go over the factory ones. With some load in addition I am finding that the vehicle has noticeable rocking side to side when on uneven pavement, not even offroad. I am thinking I need stiffer springs and maybe shocks changed but really don't want a lift or only a minimal lift because I still run the factory 33 inch tires and will go up only to 35 inch once these wear out. Watching some of your shows I am assuming you are in CA. Can you recommend a suspension shop in CA that could do the work?
@wayalife11 ай бұрын
Based on what you've described and what you're wanting to do, I would first start by installing a heavy duty rear sway bar. That should help to reduce the roll feel that you have. If after that you're still unhappy, I would then install new shocks as the factory ones are way too soft in my opinion. As far as shops go, if you're willing to make the drive out to Hanford, CA, I would recommend Disciple Off Road. Ask for Jeremy and please let him know that I sent you.

Your problem is that your tires are a Load Range E. They are super strong in the sidewalls but very firm on the ride. Nothing short of running them at about 26-28 psi will help. The shortest shocks Ohlins offers is for a 2"-3" lift
