In todays video I discuss the benefits of slapping reservoir shocks, followed with how to install them in a Jeep JL! Enjoy productdeskapi.cart.bilsteinu... www.bilsteinlifts.com/shop/je...
When you tried to put that nutsert into that hex hole, it reminded me of that game we had as kids. Square block goes in square hole and round block goes in round hole 😂
I’m trying to decide what shock to go with. I want bilstein but I don’t seem to see a adjustable shock. I’m trying to do a mid travel Silverado build. I want to be able to tackle moderate trails and gravel/dirt roads with as much speed as I can safely do and not get beat to death. I’m gonna order a CWF upper control arm because that’ll give me 2 inches more of travel. So I’m thinking that’s gonna be 10inches of travel. 5 up 5 down. I don’t plan on lifting it much, maybe a inch or two. Eventually I wanna get U182 rear leafs and CWF hanger/shackle kit. I’ll probably have to install limit straps but it’ll ride real nice then. Beats you to death right now it’s so stiff.
Hey Mo I know you sold Bromance from a different video, but I'm on the hunt to replace control arms, shocks etc. But i'm left between Teraflex Alpine IR control arms or Metalcloak Duroflex. How have the MC Duroflex been holding up prior to selling the rig? Did they hold up pretty well?
Any leaking problems? Ride quality still going well? I'm running Gladiator Rubicon take offs (on my Gladiator) . They seem too soft. I'm in the bump stops when going through mild dips on road. Also running antirock sway bar so i get a lot of side to side motion i'd like to get in check. Really thinking about these shocks. Pretty close to Rocksport travel in the 3-4.5" inch shocks.
You should do a video about replacing your rubber brake lines with steel lines. Ended up limping home last night with the Dodge because somehow while I was on an obstacle I ended up cutting a rubber brake line super fun trip home 🤪
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD well I've done the rubicon trial. Tillamook, Mojave desert 150 miles, old pilot rock trail, and metalcloak skillz even, and various other places event with a score of 860 on there flexachine. And I have not suffered any damage. And is great for daily driving with 37 mickey Thompson 😀. No emotional damage. For the last 2 years. And 27 thousand miles
It’s been a year and I’m in the same position as you with shock availability… 0 to 5 how do you like them on Road ? 0 to 5 how do you like them off-road? Would you do them again?
Bro, not saying that anything you said was wrong, but in MY experience, at the slow speeds with which we're crawling over obstacles, overheating our shock oil is not a factor. Now, if we're at KOH....then yeah. But really, for rock or mall crawling, rez shocks IN MY HUMBLE OPINION are just for looks. But you were 100% correct when you said they look cool!!👍🏻😎🤘🏻
Well, there’s plenty of bombing in the wash where we like to wheel… even road driving cycles the shock… true not as harsh… but our roads suck lol. And they catch the eyes!
@@ShockWaveOffroad speaking facts, air shock buggies, churched up ORI air shocks wont fade unless your going through whoops or 60-70mph down washboard roads for an extended amount of time, really the ONLY benefit of a RR is longer shock travel being up and down travel, thats the ONLY reason I went with my 3 year old falcon 3.3 12.4 travel other than that they ride like any stiff monotube shock and I guess look "cool" now I'm working on swapping them out with 14" ORI now that I dont daily it anymore, that being said you'll be happy with the 5160 their good shocks seen them take trail abuse and hold up well
My Rocksports faded really bad on the Rubicon. 12 hours of nonstop crawling made them HOT, towards the end my rig would lean pretty bad on anything even slightly off camber
I'd spin the rear reservoir's in for more clearance if they won't impact when flexing the rear. Looks like a rock catcher to me. I am waiting for the new Metalcloak res shocks due out soon. Take a look at those! :)
Piggyback always better because no hose to fail. Fitment is the issue. Moving floating piston out of main body into resi allows more room for working piston to travel.
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD not telling you to watch anyone else’s channel, but check out casey250. He goes inside MC and they show and talk about them. Coming soon
