I had to give you a thumbs because of the ending. Awesome .
My man is like a sponge full of knowledge in this Jeep game! I would like to squeeze that brain of his to gain some of that! Always great in depth videos brother!! 😎
Your videos are great! Very informative and hilarious at the same time.
Lol, thanks!
Great content Bubba. Helping a newbie like me make informed decisions. Too bad I don’t live in TX
You get a like for the Ric Flair montage. Also the other stuff. Woooo!
Good stuff they are a bad ass shock set up I still go back an watch the dune jump awesome advertisement on your job of building awesome jeeps etc as always be safe
Always one of the first people to respond. Thanks for the feedback and support!
Thanks for always providing good info! If I were closer and had more $$ I'd make an appointment for some upgrades!
Great explanation on this video
Great Info!
Great information, never knew you could adjust the ride height using the same coil over setup. 👍
BIG benefit of the coilovers. It's a big investment so it's a good thing you can use them if you want to change things up on your Jeep.
Maybe someday I can add Send It Sticks to my Jeep. 😬
Very informative and fun to watch! Keep them coming!!! 👍🏻
Excellent explanation
Just picked up an 07 4 door wrangler, it had the death wobble, apparently the shocks were shot, the geometry was all off and the stabilizer was completely ineffective. 2k later it drives like a dream. I am very glad I came across y’all though, if the death wobble comes back I’m taking it to y’all. Next April as a birthday gift to myself I’m definitely coming to y’all to get re-geared. My Jeep is a manual transmission and I can tell a huge difference from when I went from 285’s to 315’s. I watched yalls video about doing both the front and the back for a total of $1500, that’s worth my wife and I driving down for a weekend away from the kids and dropping the Jeep off to y’all for the weekend. We live in Tx, and I’ve got family in New Braunfels that I should probably go see anyways. I’m very happy I came across y’all. Hope to see y’all in April.
Awesome, looking forward to it!
The jeep jump at the 5min mark had me dying lol, but really appreciate the video, I learned a lot.
Great description of a coil over.
Bubba is just a bad ass 👍🏽🇺🇸 appreciate the content
Got a 1st gen Durango I've been wanting to do some offroad suspension on. Thought the jeep crowd may know the best mods for offroad rigs. Happy I was right. Got more research to do but this is a great video
Great explanation
Glad you like it!
Now I want coilovers.... great.
I learned something. thanks.
Great video Bubba
You know what's funny? Synergy has completely stopped supporting coil overs . They stopped producing their coil over conversion kits because they said the sale volume was so low it didn't make sense to bother making them anymore. I totally get that, but on top of that they now bad mouth coil over conversions, which is just sad. Just because they got their feelings hurt because they weren't selling any coil over conversions doesnt make coil overs bad. All the extremely well built desert rigs run coil overs or coil overs and external bypasses. I've seen Zero pro desert racers running separate springs and shocks.
Trying to put this setup on my Jeep eventually
If I lived closer to this shop, I’d have them do my oil changes let alone Jeep upgrades.
so its ok to put coilovers on non long travel??? I thought its mostly long travels if so cool I will get some lol, got a JK 2dr 2011 with rockkraller setup 4.5 lift progressive springs rides very nice but im told coilovers will ride even better????? thx dan
Wooo!
Now that’s entertainment.
What would you say is the best rated coilover for a 2016 Jeep wrangler jku that I plan to do a hemi swap in the future. I Currently have a 3.5 inch metal cloak game changer lift on 37s
Great informative video. Now I know coilovers are great for off-road enthusiast, but an average Joe like me does not require them.
😂😂😂Nice flyer ❤✌️
Does anybody have a video showing conversion on an old jeep, etc. from leaf spring to coilovers
Hello from Seattle!
2014 JK Willy's 2 door. 2" Body lift, Smittybilt Wench, Bumper, and armor fenders. 37"s on 17s with 2" offset.
I'm currently working on steering and long arms. I havent decided on 4 link or 3 link yet. ..
Also, my daughter is watching my build closely too, since she has a 2014 JK 2 door Sport. I have a feeling she plans to mimic my build but is taking the easy way by letting me take the lead(mistakes).
I've picked up 16" Coilover shocks but have been burned and dont have any support by the company I've purchased from. In light to getting off to a bad experience, I just wanna continue on and attempt to successfully achieve my build. My Wheeler will be a daily work horse and a weekend wheeler.
2.0 w/ resi 16" coilover, I want to squat 8". I'm attempting a total of 14" down travel, limit straps in place and possibly shoot for a total of14" uptravel with bump stops in place.
What would you suggest for spring load? 250/250, 200/200, 175/175 or 175/200?
I would suggest calling Accutune and speaking with Kenny.
How are you going to play only the first half of Elvis' intro and not let it roll into "See See Rider"? 😆
Have not seen you guys in a while
We had some family emergency stuff come up a few weeks back but hopefully we’re back on track. New video coming out next week and you won’t want to miss it!
Hi folks. Can you add coilovera front and rear to a jeep commander?
Need some advice on size of spring and shock for my 1978 Wagoneer build. I have a frame off build and I put a three link up front and a four link on the rear from Ballistic Fabrications. Running a 5.3ls motor 4l80e and NP205 for running gear. Vehicle curb weight is 4800lbs at this point. Any help would be appreciated. I can send you pictures.
Call Accutune and they can set you up 100%!
I want to build a diesel JT as soon as I can order one. Since it adds about 450lbs to the weight can a coil over adjust for that or should i just wait until a diesel specific coil over?
Also, if we’re to spend the coin for the “ulitimate D60s” from spicer, what do I sacrifice? I know they weigh a lot more so does they mean the truck will ride worse?
Smarter Than You yes it sure can. Our coilover lift on our JT was originally designed for the JL, but I changed the spring rates to accommodate the truck with 6.5” of lift and still have the correct amount of shaft exposure at ride height.
Also, axles are “unsprung” weight, so D60s will not ride much different than stock Dana 44s
I know this is an old vid. Hoping you’ll see this.
Are the 2.0s enough for a built Jk(long arms, tons, 40s)? Or would 2.5s be better?
Nah, try and do 2.5’s if you can. Lots of weight on these big builds
@@Exodus4x4 accutune kit is on its way. Thanks for the help.
I have a gladiator how much lift can I get with coilovers without changing the control arms I have a 2.5” RC leveling kit to fit my 37s for now no arms or track bar
Maybe 2” if the coilovers will go that low. After that and you need to seriously start changing all the components out
I have some Rubicon Express duals with fox reservoirs. I don't think they are adjustable though.
I've honestly hated the ride over the past year or so. I've had them for a few years though. But I haven't been off road since 2018.
Now that I just do city/highway driving, the ride is ridiculously rough. Like, I feel like my Jeep is all over the road, and rumbling like I'm driving off-road 24/7. I HATE the ride quality. But now I don't wanna go back to stock because of the cost.
Is there any saving the setup? I just wanna enjoy my ride again. I don't like feeling as though my Jeep is going to fall apart just driving it to work!
Dump the springs and get some EVO plush rides
I was told that you need to take the coilovers off a few times a year and clean them. Is that true?
LOL 5:02
Woooooo!
When you order "black" King's...the springs still come in blue?
Yeah it’s lame
I want coil overs on a 2017 f450
After all theses years I've never heard the cross over rings referred to as Timing rings, but hey what do I know. I've only been running king and fox coil overs since the late 90's
I have a stock suspension on my 2020 JLUR. I really like the general height of the Jeep and will stick with running 33” tires. I’m building the Jeep out as an Overloader vehicle so know that as the weight is added, I will need to ‘increase’ the lift to keep the stock height. I also want a better suspension which will allow me to adjust it for driving conditions: highway, around town, off-road.
Some of the overlanding I want to do will require traveling vast distances on gravel and dirt roads, so I am looking for a racing style suspension in those cases: running at speed without jarring my wife and me all over the place.
Is there such a suspension that I could install and keep the 33” tires?
Evo King kit?
Yep
Do you need to reinforce the mounting points anywhere. In a JL..
The kit comes with new mounting brackets that bolt in.👍
Somebody teach this guy how to make good memes.
Someone teach you how to walk through life without being a dick.
@@Exodus4x4 You are trying to be funny but those memes aren't funny at all. Its like grandpa style memes.
@@Exodus4x4 Chill bro, I'm just being sarcastic (-;
I’m chill as fuck, but your sarcasm comes across as being a dick.
Jeep with Mopar 2 inch lift is 100K , are you serious !!!
