That is not what I expected to see... Shocks and Jounce?

How hilarious is this timing well people make sure you are getting your service department to order to be in queue

Watch the jounce be too large and the shock valving too light.. but somehow the spring rate was fine.. lol

I don't know how they could make that Jounce much smaller, but oh well, I am not an engineer. Not sure how shocks are going to make that >2 inch gap wider... Maybe they are putting some Monroe Air Struts up front

I’ve got the parts on order now through my dealership, I’m not sure how this could fix the issue but it’s a start…maybe.

Anybody who has already "fixed" this issue have any ideas on compensation?

Just took my tech out
I bottomed it out and he said it indeed is an issue.

Emailing jeep customer care as we speak. The tech said when we got back to the dealership and I quote

"Nothing much we can do besides cutting the bump stops and/or lifting it"

So here we go. It's confirmed on my Sport S diesel gladiator.

well crap, my dealership ?... I called to get in, mentioned TSB and they say it'll be 2 1/2 weeks before they can look at it, then they will order parts "if they determine it needs them" then I'd have to wait for parts... ?

Mine Is a sport s with this problem. Hopefully now that its been diagnosed, they will update the TSB to include us.

Pretty sure the TSB parts list will be different for the other trims, since Rubicons have different suspension.

Maybe replacing shocks is cheaper for jeep than new springs?
